This. All in favour of the Walker brothers ignoring stats and relying on their sense and the points on the board.

The idea that offloading at will and spreading the ball early in the count tires defences and is more efficient than regulation completed sets makes a lot of sense, and is worth a shot.

I also don't think they need mass roster adjustments. Most pro RL players know how to play off-the-cuff, they're just told not to.

This is the first game all year i havent put a 5er on Haas to score. Its almost guaranteed now

Yep, you are less likely to get sacked if you do what everyone else does. Losing whilst doing the conventional thing is more acceptable than losing whilst don't something different.

Haas looking hungry. #HungryHaas

About 13.5% of players owning Walters. Late trades or just dead accounts?

jeezus Carrigan, grab the ball before you start looking for the knock-on call

Oh yeah!

Dead accounts.

Ffs, youd think someone would be able to count the numbers either side of the scrum there.... could see that coming a mile away

Haas over 1PPM already, fuck me dead this is gonna hurt unless he gets an early shower somehow

I knew I should have captained Grant.

Lol Brisbane.

Jeez that was ugly, but yeeeah Grant (c)

MTB gonna kill me in h2h with grant C

Did Payne Haas captain Grant?

Let him in easily there

that was weak from Haas, you're a fucking mountain, don't play grabby shit, hit him!

Grant you fucking legend <3 Can't wait to have you back here

Walker Bros end up at Donkeys before Warriors at this rate
