SYDNEY ROOSTERS UNLEASH NEW TACTIC<\/p>\n
One set of six late in the first half at Allianz Stadium on Sunday afternoon should have the rest of the NRL on notice. <\/p>\n
There were plenty of burning issues at the Roosters over summer, with plenty of focus on what would happen to emerging talent Hugo Savala once veteran playmaker Daly Cherry-Evans officially signed from Manly.<\/p>\n
Savala and his booming boot played a key role in the Roosters\u2019 push to the finals last season, but it was clear that there wouldn\u2019t be a spot for him in the halves this year.<\/p>\n
It led to questions over whether he would shift to the forwards, come off the bench or simply leave the club for more opportunities.<\/p>\n

In Sunday\u2019s game against the Knights, he answered all those questions and more with a brilliant display that included a try double and shutting down Dane Gagai in defence.<\/p>\n
But it was one set with less than five minutes to go in the first half that highlighted the evolution of his role in the team when he moved from left centre and went looking for the ball at first receiver that bamboozled the defence and should\u2019ve resulted in a try to Mark Nawaqanitawase, who put a foot in touch. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think that was an outstanding set of play,\u201d Roosters coach Trent Robinson beamed after the game. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe goes down there, has a look down the short side, he sort of hesitates just behind the ruck \u2026 I\u2019m not sure whether Sammy (halfback Sam Walker) said something or not. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then he plays two really clear plays about getting us into a point and then creating the opportunity on the next one. I love the fact that he had the confidence to do that, and then he also had the style of play to do that as well. <\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he was so good today out there at left centre and doing the role that he\u2019s been asked to do there.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to play it safe on an edge when you\u2019ve got Walker and Cherry-Evans calling the shots, but the confidence Savala showed is scary for rival teams. <\/p>\n
\u201cI saw Sammy take the hit-up there and go, and I just thought it was a good opportunity to get my hands on the ball and create a little bit of space for the boys out wide,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, it wasn\u2019t trained all week; it was just off the cuff. I did that role last year, so I thought it would be a good time to use that.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeddy (skipper James Tedesco) and the leadership group give you a lot of confidence. <\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of the young boys get a lot of confidence from doing the reps in the week. They have the belief in all us young boys to do what we do. I\u2019m just doing my job out there, and they believe in me, so I can just do my role and do it well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robbo on if Teddy should play Origin | 10:21<\/p>\n
Savala, 24, has played the past two games at left centre with Billy Smith out injured. Robinson and the senior players clearly believe in his talent, with the towering utility content with biding his time until an opportunity in the halves arises. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou just play your best football and stuff comes off the back of it,\u201d he said, willing to play wherever he\u2019s required heading into Saturday\u2019s Anzac Day clash with the Dragons. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just working hard and still working on my skills. I\u2019m still working on my kicking at training and my ball playing, but the majority of the time at training, I\u2019ve been doing the role that I needed to do on the weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cRobbo\u2019s big on mindset and how you prepare for the game. He\u2019s been really clear with us as a group, and I\u2019ve been clear knowing that I\u2019m playing left centre this week. That\u2019s the role that I have to play. <\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, there\u2019s a half and a five-eighth inside me, but I was playing left centre today and that\u2019s the role I was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
