Yet Sturt doubled Norwood's score.
Sturt's 56 inside 50s to Norwood's 34 is the stat you're looking for.
Also many of Boyd's hit outs were ineffective (to Sturt's advantage or Norwood couldn't clear it).
Rawlings with plenty of work to do just to make the side competitive.
Pretty easy actually
Just pull out the game plan from the 2nd half of last year - the one he was forced to use instead of his own (which he's using again this year)
Maybe its the same season plan - lull everyone into thinking we are crap only to change the game plan later in the year and surprise everyone
Yep, well you need the right game plan
and the personnel.
So far new players in the side aren't showing a lot (except for the 17 yo defender), but it would be knee-jerk to write them off at this point.
The only forward so far showing anything is Davis, so Callow can't play soon enough.
Anyway 2-4 start last year ended with a flag, so time to recover the situation, but it's probably even tougher than last year.
