Tell us ur plays

So here I am flat out in bed with massive temperatures (39.9) for about the third day in a row. After having some serious stuff go on in my chest and an x ray they now tell me I have pneumonia (step above the man flu i guess) and they prescribed me a superdrug called 'zed'. I'm pretty sure it made to combat zombie viruses.I'm not after sympathy just merely giving a back story as to how I came up with the idea for this blog. Now in and out of weird sleep dreams and high temperature dillusions (pretty sure that's where the zombie drug idea came from too, I was sure at one stage i'd turned and chased my wife out of the house. Too Much walking dead?) I at one stage was brad Arthur!! It was in the sheds before a match and we were talking about plays.This brings me to my question, if u could make the eels run a play, what would it be? We've all been keyboard coaches at some stage (I mean no disrespect) so let's see what u got. Simple or more in depth, doesn't matter.Mine would be this. We all know sandow likes to put a chip through for a flying Hayne, and teams now usually cover it well. So what about sandow shaping to kick, shaping, Hayne starts flying from behind him, then bam!! short ball to Hayne who now has holes to hit and space created by players covering the chip. could it work? Or am I more delusional than I thought?Have some fun with it, keen to see some replies. In the mean time the race is on with superdrug to be in high spirits for Fridays game. Usually get some good loving after a good win and wifey's been looking hot as but in my current state I feel there's not a single thing I can do about it. (ooooh now that's something I'll take sympathy for)Cheers!

  • I can't believe i'm going to give up my secret special play!

    The Falcon Try!

    You get grab from behind short of the try line, you throw the ball backwards into your own head and head it forward into the in-goal area to set up a team mate for a try or force a line drop-out.

    • It's the best play in the game, it isn't a knock-on at all. The Storm did it to us in one of the Semi-finals a few years back, I think it rocketed off Hoffman's head and the refs called play on, no doubt if we did it though it would be called back.

  • I wont tell you will tell someone.

    • Excuse me? What?
  • A banana kick from Norman right onto a leaping Vai Toutais chest.

    I used to love watching Andrew Johns hit those perfect banana kicks. they were unreal.

    • I'm not smart enough to create new plays.....I;m a little slow, some have even been unkind enough to offer backward!    Still I would like to see Chris, upon receiving a penalty, forego the "tea-party", check his mark, make sure his straggler mates are onside, get the ref "on-side", all by the way in the blink of an eye, and take off with another speed man in support. Or kick, just get it done quick!

      Another manoeuvre when gaining a penalty within 20 yards of their line and taking a quick tap would be to cut Mannah out of the play initially, let a speedy man run it and pass to Mannah or Tepai closer to the line and on the fly.

      And lastly, just once before he retires convince Benny to forget the impersonation of Ben Roberts, you know, that one of indecision, and forget passing, forego the jink and run hard and give your best shot at busting the line. The opposition would be as shocked as me and just might open up. Wouldn't it be nice to see.

      Get well Micka, get well soon.

    • hamish major problem with this play is that anywhere within 10m of the line toutai drops the ball
  • Take a few hit ups and get the defense stacked to one side on their try line. Super quick play the ball and a quick pass to the second receiver (Sandow) lob kick to the corner for a sprinting Semi / Toutai. No defender, no worries. Lockyer did it with Yow Yeh I don't know how many times.
  • There's a few that I have. I'll start with the few that are easiest.

    Scrum around your 30m line or so, have Sandow stand close to the lock, basically right behind him but with some depth give him the ball and him to boot it downfield for a flying backline player or hopefully pick up a 40/20 and then get a quick tap. Most of the forwards should be in the scrum and if you had everyone learn it you could score a few tries per season.

    In the opposition half if there's nothing happening on the last tackle, get the kicker to run the ball over to the second ref and throw the ball at him. Whilst being absolutely hilarious it will result in a scrum to the team with field possession. If the ball touches a ref it results in a scrum to the attacking team (team with the better field position). This is a very old rule in the book that can be exploited very easily now that there are two refs on the field.

    Now for the hardest one of all.

    When in defence, if you're a centre or winger come up in defence and make a tackle.

  • Get well soon Mick you will need to feel your best for game. My secret play has been done once . BA may need to practice with kids first for this one. When close to line Sandow or Hayne get into dummy half and are straight. They then turn without touching ball (opposition cant touch you until you pick up ball otherwise a penalty). They then kick to centre or winger and they go pver for a try. Opposition will not be expecting this. I cant see why this would not be legal where does it say hands need to touch ball first. Has anyone else seen this play. I am calling it the Paulie if allowed.
