I wanted to start this thread after the Bulldogs game, but thought it was better to wait to see us play a few real games.
We have heard it plenty of time, ‘we just need to play Saints Footy’, ‘we need to keep working on playing our brand of footy’, ect..
So what is Saints Footy? What is our Brand, and how does that manifest itself in our playing style?
To me the one obviouse thing is a physicality. As a 22 we look like we are trying to be really imposing and always seem to be proactive with a physical presence. Billings has been the most obvious change for mine, love him working his way to the center of a few scuffles.
Also Steele’s hit on Stringer. Could have been a Scuffle, or a push, but it was a solid bump. No one looked at Steele like that was an undisciplined 50m as it was (IMO) a statement of our brand.
So what else does Saints Footy entail?
