Warriors boss Andrew McFadden admits he didnt foresee his sides lacklustre first-half performance in their 41-22 loss to lowly South Sydney.The Warriors went into the match in eighth place and as strong favourites against the Rabbitohs, who were looking to avoid their 10th NRL loss on the trot.The side played with intent early on and took the lead through a barging Solomone Kata but collapsed within 10 minutes.A kicking masterclass from Souths halfback Adam Reynolds, who assisted three first-half tries through grubbers and a field goal, left the Warriors reeling.An improved second-half performance from the Auckland-based side was not enough to salvage the match, and leaves their finals hopes on a knife edge with three games remaining.South Sydney, meanwhile, will take confidence from their performance in what has been a disappointing 2016 campaign.They had a good plan to kick in behind us and even though we knew that was coming, we lacked the desperation to get to the ball first, McFadden said.Outside the first 10 minutes they just dominated field position and real momentum.Souths forward pack steamrolled the Warriors for large stretches of the match, finishing with almost 200 more running metres than their opponents.Reynolds then used his sides strong field position to hit the Warriors in the corners, putting on grubber kicks for Alex Johnston, Aaron Gray and Joe Burgess to score.Further tries to Burgess, Greg Inglis and Hymel Hunt settled the contest.McFadden said his sides heads dropped as Souths racked up the points.Their forwards did a really good job and we were just a little bit off, and they got on the front foot, he said.Captain Ryan Hoffman echoed his coachs remarks, saying the Warriors put themselves under too much pressure chasing in the game.If we didnt have to chase so many points I reckon we wouldve been a bit more patient in that second half and executed more, Hoffman said.For Souths, the victory was a long time coming.Coach Michael Maguire said the performance was befitting the strength of his squad, which has been ravaged by injury throughout 2016.Weve obviously been through a fairly tough period as a club in the past couple of months, Maguire said.To get those last two performances was probably a true reflection of the team I have.The Rabbitohs would now strive to finish 2016 on the right note and with a healthy squad.We know the future is moving into a pre-season at some stage and the boys, to their credit, and the leadership have said that we start now, Maguire said.He also said Reynolds performance was made possible by the recent return of Greg Inglis and John Sutton from injury.When youve got the opposition going backwards, it allows Adams game to really enhance, Maguire said.He was excellent there, he really steered the team around.Maguire was equally complimentary of five-eighth Cody Walker, who also snared a try assist.The 26-year-old Walker said the performance was 10 weeks in the making.The team would now look to end the season on the right note.Thats our plan every week, the possession sort of game, Walker said.Thats what we want from Reynolds and he delivered that in the first half.Yeezy Cheap Real . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games.

He spent three days with the Falcons during their mid-June minicamp at the teams training facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia.The intensity between top-level international rugby and NFL is similar, Lancaster told ESPN. There are some differences in the basic nature of the sport; however, there are a lot more similarities in terms of the tackling and physicality. We can learn a lot from NFL, and vice versa.Similarities between American football and rugby have been explored before. The Seattle Seahawks, with whom Quinn was defensive coordinator before joining the Falcons last year, have championed rugbys tackling techniques as a way to avoid dangerous contact to the head.Lancaster, who left England in the wake of the 2015 Rugby World Cup, is an admirer of American football, and his coaching philosophy has been influenced by Bill Walshs leadership guide, The Score Takes Care of Itself.Part of Lancasters mission with the Falcons was to explain how he feels American football can learn from rugby. His primary focus was on tackling, specifically on driving through the collision and head placement.A lot of the tackles in American football are very similar to rugby, Lancaster said. Having seen what we do in rugby, they identified a few areas which will help them improve in their own technique.We talked about footwork into contact, making sure you get your head the right side of the tackle and winning the last meter, so dominating the collision. In American football, as soon as the knee touches the floor, the tackle is complete. But in rugby, we focus more on hitting and completing the tackle, and thats an area they were interested in.Lancaster passed on his knowledge first to the Falcons coaches, and he finished the visit by presenting to the whole playing and management group.dddddddddddd The presentation covered what Lancaster learned from his time in charge of England and focused on getting the players to understand their responsibility in driving the culture alongside the coaches.In a rugby game, they are tackling constantly so we thought there was a lot to gain from Stuart, Quinn said in a press release. He came in and we spent a good bit of time talking tackling, what drills to use and if theres a crossover that we use from our game that he can use, and something from his game that we might be able to use.Lancaster also analyzed last seasons game between the Falcons and Washington Redskins from a rugby point of view, looking at the tackling from a performance and safety perspective.His time with the Falcons was an eye-opener and a mutually beneficial exercise. Lancaster was left hugely impressed by the athletic ability of the Falcons players, especially wide receiver Julio Jones, and the intensity of their training.Lancaster, who helped set up the new professional rugby league in America, feels heading forward that players who fail to make the cut in NFL should consider looking to rugby -- and perhaps reversing the path Australian rugby star Jarryd Hayne traveled last year, when he joined the San Francisco 49ers.For Lancaster, he is waiting for his next challenge in rugby but is enjoying learning from various sports. He has spent time with British Olympian Ben Ainslies sailing team, and he will draw on the experience of seeing firsthand what the Falcons do.I was really impressed by the attention to detail they put into training, the organization and efficiency of the session, and they put a big emphasis on real-time decision-making, Lancaster said. At the training ground, they can simulate different scenarios for the offensive and defensive team to play against each other.The energy in how they conducted their meetings was impressive. And the quality of coaching from the assistant coaches, as well as the head coach, was excellent. ' ' '
