Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2466971, member: 1899"] It's not as if we brought in Kearney to replace Hook, he's been given Langer's spot and as much as Alf means to this club, his 09-12 time-frame as assistant didn't lead to many positive correlations. With Kearney apart of the coaching squad, I believe he'll tighten our ability to control the ruck defensively. One of the key points that's been highlighted has been the focus on the wrestle and I believe the Broncos will be looking to become smarter in the ruck, twisting and turning players on their back to force slow play-the balls and give our defence the ascendency. It might sound strage, but our defence definitely needed a lot of work. I felt like one of the biggest problems was that when clubs smelt blood in the water, they could always find ways to exploit us. Performances in R2, R9, R12, R17, R21, R22, R25 & FW1 demonstrate this. I feel as if the boys become more adept to defending, they won't have to overcompensate by being so conservative with the football and actually do more with the football other than trying to force their opponent into a corner with their last tackle play.
