RLCM Q: You were talking about working through your sets before. How do you build the sets in your opposition’s red zone that will result in points? MURRAY: Some people think that you need to have six sets of hands to score a try and they say it was a great try when others would say it was a soft try. Well, the latter group is not seeing the work that was done to get there. Most times it is not the actual running over putting the ball down, it’s all the build up and the momentum of the game before that. There is a chain of events - the terrific run a number of plays back, the half break, the quick play the ball, the two on one down the short side. It has taken a great deal of momentum to score that try. Sometimes you build that momentum and if need be you go for another set of six. So you keep the momentum going and then the pressure might give you what looks like that soft try but that soft try was brought about by the build up of momentum and pressure before that. There had been a glint in Graham Murray’s eye at the beginning of our talk, and now 45 minutes later, the glint was even brighter. RLCM had not only been informed but entertained with anecdotes and examples and now we too had that ‘really looking forward to Friday’ feeling. |
