Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3234609, member: 1847"] I reckon Munster is stepping up to take CS9's place. His involvement, to me at least has gone up a level this year, and their spine continues to work together really well. They win because their defence is so good- they move up so fast, and their attack is all about super fast ball movement and precise execution. To beat them, you have to play as well as them defensively which is a big ask, and in attack - to penetrate their defence, it's the same: get the ball moving fast and with precision, and everyone supporting everyone else. It's actually exactly the same game plan with all the best teams, especially under the shitty new rules. Frankly, at this stage of our re-building after the Seibold chaos, I can't see us getting within 20 points of them. We do not move up in defence which means they will exploit our fragile marker and goal line defence. Munster and Hughes will work the ball in the spaces between our markers and slow moving defensive line and create overlaps out wide with swift passing. Paps will be up just behind, or in the line, and ready to exploit the slightest gap, exactly as Slater did. Against their speed and precision in the way they execute, I just can't see us winning, at this stage of our comeback under Walters. The 2nd half will tell all, as it always has. I just hope we can stay competitive, which will mean 100% commitment for the entire 80. For me, next time, maybe. Nevertheless, like every game against the best, it provides Walters with the chance to fix what's broken, because the top sides expose what's broken quick smart. [/QUOTE]
