Less floggings = better forwards f

Posted by Bateau Bay Eel on April 19, 2015 at 8:51pm
As per the heading reads we are now competing pretty well against other teams even though we have a very sluggish back line at the moment. In my opinion this is the first step in developing a very good football team, if we look at the dogs last year I thought they had a pretty dull back line however they managed to get to the big one. Most experienced coaches ( re Bennet & Hasler) don't care about how boring the win will look but just chalk another 2 points up. I think this is BAs logic with his own " Parra footy style"that he's introducing. I'm gunna be happy to win ugly & sometimes lose ugly but I'm pretty sure we've moved from being the soft forward pack that we've been regarded for years. backline pace can be added & also made to look better than it actually is. We're headed in the right direction, forwards first back line second!

    Agreed. I don't care if our wins are uglier than loko's head, I'll take it any day of the week. Common u eels another horrible ugly win against the broncs next week.

    Its a big mans game now.. Our forwards have been young and soft for a few years, and some teams just steam rolled us big time.. Another year older and a great teacher in whatmough has helped no end.. We just need some confidence in the back line to support and back each other and we'll do much better.. Hoppa needs t fire up...
