After the wash out and shillacking by the Crusadists I gave the Reds a pass despite the score. Tonight against the brumbies I’m hoping for better weather and hoping to see a few things on the feild.
Defence.
I’m hoping to see a more energetic defencive line. The almost placid line the Reds have run for a few years allows teams to eat up metres for a minimum of effort. I want to se a defensive line moving to cut space and time.
Attack.
STRUCTURE! something that we can look at and say ‘that’s the reds!’ and say it in a positive way. Don’t get me wrong I know there has been a plan for the last couple of years but it clearly hasn’t worked. I want to see some development of the round the corner, outside shoulders, stetch the defence then give it to Kerevi model.
Forwards.
The lineout didn’t too to well last week. I’m looking for a better showing there. The backrow has to do more damage with the ball in hand. I want to see two forwards that make it bloody hard to tackle them! I’d love to see a couple of Brumbies bouncing off a reds forward on the edge of a ruck. We need it so bad.
Backs.
I want to see our backline work as a unit instead of a group of individuals. Puting player into holes instead of bashing it up. Stringing more passes together. I want our backline to me more than the sum of the individuals in it. It hasn’t been for a while.
There you go. It’s not to much to ask is it?
What’s your wish list for tonight?
I will even read Brumbies supporters wish lists. Really… I will!
