Attitude Needed in the Ruck
From RLCM eBook 27 Printed 2002
By Daniel Anderson
No one has derived a graph representing player attitude and is unlikely to ever do so. But Anderson believes if such a statistic was presented it would demonstrate a clear correlation between appropriate attitude and winning.
Continued from Friday
It's not that Anderson is uninterested in technical aspects of the ruck area rather he sees them as being intertwined with the player's personal mind-set.
"The main thing about any team winning on the ground for me is how much resolve and how good your attitude is. If you have a real strong attitude and you're motivated you'll come out better on the field because you'll do the things conducive to winning.
The ruck is an ugly area - a lot of bodies are in there - and there's various techniques you can adopt to keep things smooth and quick which would help you play the ball more rapidly for example.
The same goes for tackling and offloading and other areas of the ruck - there's hundreds of little techniques which help you on the ground but the point is it all come back to attitude".
The meat of Anderson's message is this: You can teach the player what to do but his attitude will dictate if he does it in battle.
"We are constantly trying different drills at training making sure players can still play the ball quickly despite being trapped in heavy traffic or while copping shoulders.
"We train under different referee interpretations, finding the best evasive methods from the time the ref calls held to the time you play the ball and you still have players all over you.
"We have found if a player is stronger through the hip and gut area they can get rid of defenders easily and can fight for us to get penalties.
"Weaker players tend to get pinned longer and those that don't have the proper techniques also spend longer than they should in the play the ball area and all that adds up to a loss of momentum."

Blues to go with Gower, Anasta THE NSW selectors are set to bank on Braith Anasta and Craig Gower as the Blues halves pairing for State of Origin I. Maitua repays the faithful RENI Maitua wanted to repay his mates. Two tries is a good start.

Hapless Bunnies get burned SHANNON Hegarty, bought from the Roosters as a Mr Reliable, had Souths' hopes in his hands six minutes before half-time against the Panthers at CUA Stadium yesterday. Eels' improvement yields scant reward PARRAMATTA fans continue to weep. Another week, another loss. Yesterday's match against the Bulldogs may have evidenced a slightly more cohesive, more defensive Eels, but, after 80 minutes, the result was the same: no points and, worse still, a key player injured. Storm fullback sensation will be hard to dislodge WHAT will Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy do when Billy Slater returns from suspension in a few weeks? Surely he won't be moving Greg Inglis from fullback, where he has been a sensation since regular custodian Slater was outed. A day to forget for Canberra CANBERRA coach Matthew Elliott is a realist if ever there was one, and he had no plans to make excuses for his team's shabby performance in crawling out of the starting blocks before losing to Cronulla yesterday.

Tigers' hopes rest on Benji's magical appearing act THE Wests Tigers had victory snatched from their grasp in the dying stages of yesterday's game against Newcastle, but they shouldn't go slashing their wrists. Carney plays down clincher NEWCASTLE winger Brian Carney didn't know what tackle it was - or even what the score was - when he came up with the match-winning play that snatched the Knights their third late win in as many weeks. Kearney proves his worth BRETT Kearney is playing for his future, and that is pressure enough without having to step in for Cronulla's first- and second-choice halfbacks - Brett Kimmorley and Adam Dykes.
