Hey,

Now we cant lose out on the playoffs isnt this a chance try different tactics? Like stop kicking the ball as much, use that rolling maul more often, It worked last week,

Maybe give some of the younger or more in-experienced Chiefs a run out, This is now a fantastic chance to make sure our starting IX is at optimun fitness, And i am sure everyone is like myself in hoping this Drew Lock can do what he was doing against us, WITH US!!!

Rob Baxter explained at the Members' forum that last season we carried the ball into contact and made more tackles than any other side in the league and this wears players out. The reason for the kicking game is to reduce these figures. Furthermore the players have licence to run with the ball when they can see space to run into but are encouraged to kick the ball when there are no obvious channels. If you watch the game from behind the goal this is more obvious than if you watch from the sidelines.

These last few games before the playoffs are the time to hone the side that is going to be playing in the playoffs not to be experimenting more than is necessary which is why the side has been substantially unchanged for the last three weeks.

If we only had IX players on the field I don't think we'd have won XV games out of XVIII.

Drew Locke is a promising centre but how many of his runs for Coventry ended with him passing the ball or the move continuing? The fact is that not only did our players not know what he was going to do but neither did his own side so his breaks largely ground to a halt. Hopefully we may see him and Greenhalgh playing together in next season's pre-season friendlies but they are players for the future not for the next 4 months.

Interestingly that's where I like to watch from (the ends), you may not see the sheer pace of the game but you get a much better view of "what's on" and a better (in my opinion) idea of "why?" and "why not?"

Forcast from MetCheck....

12:00 3°c feels like 0°c, no rain, 6 % Cloud, North West wind 7mph to 8mph
15:00 3°c feels like -4°c, no rain, 23 % Cloud, North West wind 5 mph to 6 mph
18:00 -2°c feels like -4°c, no rain, 49 % Cloud, North West wind 4mph to 5mph

better wrap up warm

P156...COME ON YOU CHIEFS....CHIEFS....CHIEFS....CHIEFS

and the 3rd team is...

Referee: Mathieu Raynal (France)
Assistant referees: Paul Knowles, Andrew Pearce

can't find a ref profile but a couple of reports suggested he was 'fussy'. Here's some info from Statbunker

French referee eh? Could make for interesting listening on the RefLink. Might just slip a Babel Fish into my ear!
