Similar to HL/B set up practise, Players work in groups of 5 running off of a stationary 9
As they come round the corner, they set up their 2 wave attack unopposed then play, with the 10 having the option to hit rocks or bale
Order of set up is First Receiver, Rock 2, Rock 1, Bale, then last player pushing Bale to wing and becoming new Bale
