If MM can sort our defence out then we will be there or thereabouts.
Just look what can happen when a defence orientated coach comes in!!

Maybe we do at the start of the season.
It’s imperative that we start strongly and set our intentions out from the get go and if that means unattractive ruby then so be it.
As long as we know that we can’t stay on that track all season and our style has to develop as our confidence does.
Plus it’s always good to know we can revert 2 a plan B- If further on in the season we need to squeeze a win out it’s good to know we can.
The problem comes if you need to do more than squeeze a win out then like Hudds your found wanting. |

| If we play the same style of rugby as Melbourne Storm next season, that will do for me...  |

No scooter hookers.
That would be a great start.

Melbourne play a very structured game with really good organised defence, probing the opposition team, looking for weak spots and then working on them. They're not the off the cuff broken field style of a Paramatta, but they do have some sublime set moves (and the players to pull them off).
They're extremely good at identifying an opposition player who's a weak link in certain situations, e.g. bombs or kicks to turn the player, and making damn sure they work on him, and are patient enough to stick to the plan and force the opportunity.

Amen brother!!!!
God I long for the day that sees the end of the impact hooker in SL, maybe we can get back to having a utility back on the bench and have more option. |

We got rid of your nemesis last year. Unless you now have TL in your sights? BTW you are occasionally allowed to run from acting half back, you know. When Piggy was any good he was excellent at it! |

It's not the scooting from dummy half that is killing the game.
It's the scooting and dying with the ball, using the scoot to make easy metres.
If the dummy half scoots breaks and passes then o.k. as you said we saw occasionally from Riddell last year, and from Isaac Luke in the 4 nations.
It would be interesting to see how many times the modern dummy half gets caught in possession of the ball.
Maybe we should go back to the old rule whereby if the dummy half gets tackled in possession of the ball then it's either a handover or penalty to the defending side.

If Rogues remembers it it could date back as far as 1837. |

It was probably in the 1960's
Do you think it could or indeed should be implemented? |

TBH I'm always a bit reluctant to keep tinkering with the rules. I'd rather see sensible application of the existing rules. For example, nobody wants to see players spear tackled but IMO a rule that gives a penalty - and therefore a break in play - just because a player is lifted above the horizontal is a blot on the game. If the player is safely returned to vertical (or something like it!) then play on for me.
Re scooting and getting caught in possession. I was born in 1960 (gets ready for the abuse and insults!) but don't remember this rule. IMO a sensible interpretation of existing rules at the POTB should be enough, i.e. Carry on with the current trend of allowing slower plays. This negates the effectiveness of 1 trick ponies (no names!) without giving the refs more rules to implement.
