Message: [QUOTE="Santa, post: 3380237, member: 11237"] So I've been thinking lately (always a mistake), and I think whoever our offensive coach is needs to get it together and develop some set plays especially when we are in the attacking zone. While complaints about our recent attacking ability usually revolve around us not being well structured (pre Reynolds), there is no doubt we have some talented players, who with a little bit of built in tactics can score us more tries more consistently. Even when we sucked, we still had Boyd's cut out ball to get some points when we were at the line. Keen to hear any ideas you all may have. I.e. simple tactics that you think would work for the Broncos (specifically.. we don't have a fast winger to kick it to from our 20) to score more points. [B]Play 1: 'Staggs vs the rest' What we do: [/B]Whenever we have a scrum (in the opposition's 20 or 30) we always take it in the middle, put 3 players on each side, and then run and hope for the best. [B]What we can do:[/B] we should get everyone to line up on the left, except Staggs (who stays on the right). If the opposition don't match it, we easily outnumber them and score in the corner. If they move their players across to the left to match up, go straight to Staggs. No one can tackle him one on one and we easily score again. [B]Success rate: [/B]100%. This is full proof. [B]Potential issues: [/B]none. Although we should wait to use this until at least the preliminary finals, so other teams with gun backs don't copy it and do it to us. [B]Play 2: "old school [S]Oates[/S] Hass crash" What we do: [/B]random forward barges that do nothing but waste a tackle. [B]What we should do: [/B]We used to do this all the time! Oates sprints in and kills their smallest player to crash over the line. We have some pretty strong players, I don't see why have haven't at least tried this with Hass. And I don't mean how we do it now (give it to Hass 10-15 out and see how close he gets). I mean give it to him 1m away, near the edge and see if they can stop him. [B]Success rate:[/B] 86.3%. Only time it won't work is if they line up 5 players to stop him, or if he drops the ball in the collision. [B]Potential issues: [/B]none. It's a basic play we should do more. What you guys think? Any more? [/QUOTE]
