The strategy for this week was straightforward: to examine a tactical aspect from Round 1 of the NRL season.
On Sunday, I intended to thoroughly assess the Newcastle Knights' offensive performance with their new head coach, Justin Holbrook.
Previously on this platform, I had criticized their structure and coherence, so I was eager to see any developments.
And there was improvement. Signs of progress were evident, and I was set to break it down.
However, I encountered a 'TTT'-a Tough Time with Technology!
Consequently, I altered my focus. Instead, I concentrated on the Canterbury Bulldogs, scrutinizing their tackle techniques, defensive positioning, and Lachlan Galvin's decision-making skills.
This analysis is featured in this week's edition of The Loose Carry Podcast.
Yet, before wrapping up this article, something unexpected drew my attention in an entirely different direction.
