top speed

Watching these other teams fighting to make at least into the top 4 are showing a lot of speed from their halves to their outside backs plus their forwards show a lot of leg speed. Now we all know B.A has put a lot in parramatta 's defence over the pre season & so forth. But without being to critical some our boys really need to put in some sprint training over this end of season ie : manah, gower ( if still around ) edwards even jennings.. fingers crossed for 2017 ( once again )

  • You might have a point mate although I'm not sure id put jennings in that group, he's pretty fast off the mark and gets those little legs pumping, unlike many i think he's had a good year.

    Tim to his credit has been winding up harder for a few of his runs, running with determination, no doubt since he's been under Brad his runnings got a bit harder.

    Agree we need guys who can hit the line hard, id say thats why Brads targeting guys like Vave and Brown, big lads who can really wind up.

    • Yeah look snake maybe iam just clutching at straws here .but with our roster next year it be nice to also see brilliant attacking flair consistently by our boys as well as renowned defence
  • The problem is that we don't win the wrestle.....the difference between the top sides and the rest is the 1st 5 seconds.
    Parra and the rest are always penalized in the ruck because they lose the initial wrestle, therefore to get a player on there back takes a 2nd effort, hence the penalty.
    The speed of play, space and opportunity flows off the back of the ruck, thats why it seems like the lower sides get shafted. They just don't win the initial contact.
  • Misleading title. I thought you had more info about James Roberts.

He needed a pre-season. After 2026 if he is still all over the place then yeah go for your life knocking him."
