Re the Yanks.
Am wondering if they have become a bit stereotyped? Big boofers in the middle (Barrett etc), lightning speed on the outside (Baker, Isles).Meet the boofers head on and shut down the outside (which we did more often than not) and they're not what they were in the last year or so.
Our guys looking quite good in their two games so far.

@booboo I think players like Isles and Baker are overrated. They're there because they're fast, but their ball handling skills aren't always great.
Their one trick, which is a fucking good trick admittedly, has been read I reckon.

@booboo not to mention that long range try we got, where was Baker with his pace to try cut us off or at least push us to the corner, he didnt even try, they showed another angle and looked like he wasnt interested in trying to run him down...maybe he wouldn't have made it, but when the break was made I was expecting to see him shoot in from the corner of the screen
Seems to be missing the desire on defence

Was that Kurt Baker's try? They all gave up as soon as he broke the line.
