Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3470827, member: 9372"] Agreed... my point was more that there are so few quality 9's in the entire competition who can do as you describe consistently (and we have none of them on our roster), so its imperative that we instead focus on the most simple bread and butter basics - flat passes from DH to forwards steaming onto the ball, to create the best situation to make some of these interim hooker options at least serviceable. They'll never be elite, but if we can put them in a position where they just need to do a very simple basic task and then capitalise on what the forwards are creating then they can be more than good enough for us to be competitive in September. Perhaps most importantly, if we really think we have a good long term 9 prospect coming through the woodwork in Mozer, then I want these basic structures well and truly established and second nature by the time he comes through. The last thing I want us to do is squander another young talented playmaker's potential by putting him in a poor position where its difficult to thrive and develop. The fact that our squad hasn't been consistently trained to have forwards hitting full speed as they receive the ball flat from DH and finding their front quickly absolutely astounds me... If you asked me what the single greatest key to a good NRL attack was - I would say it was that simple mechanic, which requires absolutely no special skill or freakish ability - just high fitness, consistent effort and focus. Any team can do it, but the ones that do it the most consistently are unsurprisingly the ones at the top of the ladder. [/QUOTE]
