Rolling Roos come up against a strong Central

Dale Tonkin

This should be a good combative game in round three of the Broken Hill Football League action as Central like the inside grind and contested style of play but so do South.

The difference could be if South can get it on the outside as they have speed to burn and Central struggle but the Maggie’s are very good on the inside they just need that polish on the outside which will change the entire dynamics.

South where impressive last week against north and there fitness and conditional levels where clear to see the Roos skill sets will separate the two teams and they can run hard both ways, but the Maggie’s do like a inside contest and are very good at it.

They do need to get some shape around the ball and go direct as they have extremely good key forwards so in summary if Central can take the game on and make the play we will have a real contest.

But for me the Roos will be to good inside and outside let’s see if the Maggie’s can equalise around the ball and not allow south to have what they want.

Prediction: South in this game by 25 points
