Message: [QUOTE="Dazza 92, post: 3658062, member: 8727"] Look, for me part of the answer lies in the gutting of our forward depth. Why is that important? Because its affected our team defence. Last season, you had Payne, Paddy, Flegs, and a host of bench props steamrolling us up the field. We would then launch nukes at the opposition even if we were 80-90 metres away from their goal line. That combination, of trying to match our go forward AND constantly running back onside due to the amount of line breaks we created, improved us defensively. Simply because we put more fatigue into a opposition than any other team. And thus, our goal line defence looked - good! The best in the NRL in fact. But thats why. We were not put on the back foot in the middle by anyone, we were not constantly rushing back in defence to cover yet another line break. The cost of this though is complaceny stepped in. It's been taken for granted our forwards will "always" provide the platform. It's been assumed that we can "always" create breaks and half breaks from anywhere (kinda still true at times this year). We just havent been able to consistently get over the advantage line. We do not have the forward depth. [/QUOTE]
