Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3275446, member: 1992"] I've been thinking about what you said about wasting time. Since we regularly play with 12 or less I think it'd be prudent to have a strategy to help cope with it. Once again I think that after we get the ball back we should be doing everything in our power to limit the time the opposition has the ball. A set usually takes 50 -60 seconds but we could easily double that. Two sets like that takes another two minutes out of the opposition advantage. I'd certainly have a plan and instruct my onfield captain to gather the troops and make the call, my choice would be 'And we're walking' . That would mean every tackle there'd be no fighting to rise quickly , a stand and check there's a marker, a long look at the ref, and plenty of passing sideline to sideline. Remembering how the Ipswich Jets used to have the ball twice as long as the opposition makes me think this would be a solid tactic when we have a binned player. We only have to think about the way a team plays when leading by a couple of points in the final 30 seconds of a match and replicate that. It's amazing how much time you can deprive them of.
