Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2887802, member: 8988"] Attack wise he'll be fine. He hasn't suffered major injuries that have slowed him down. With the same kind of space as sides with big packs he'll look phenomenal. The broncos, since Lockyer retired have lacked the ability to build pressure consistently and wear sides down. Part of that has been an atrocious at times kicking game, but a lot has been forwards being caught in their own 20 being unable to take the ball beyond halfway in a set, that in any way gives opportunity for attacking kicks/ running. Meanwhile, other teams have been allowed to do the exact opposite with up tempo plays after front rowers have bent the line. I think we too often play ad-lib football without a goal in mind. There has to be some idea of where a set will end and how. Throwing the ball to our backs 2nd tackle for a sweeping play is great but it always must lead to a last play where everybody is onboard with what's going on, and prepare accordingly. Seeing a 2nd rower or lock getting the ball 1st or 2nd pass on the last play, 30 metres out, guarantees a disastrous end. What is needed is for halves to not only step up on last tackle but to want the ball, after our forwards have put them into that 30 metre space, most teams score from, and every part of the spine working on the same plan or atleast a variation of. If the off-season signings work out or our young forwards advance as much next season as this, we'll have one half of the solution. The other half is just hard work and repetition. [/QUOTE]
