Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2655868, member: 1899"] I would like to think that Hodges would play this role regardless of who was at fullback and I like it because it creates an element of unpredictability that's necessary to score points. The biggest problem with the Broncos is that they lacked the formation and the talent to put the defence in two minds. If the defence knows what's coming, it's really just a matter of commitment and the defence is always going to have the upper hand since they can anticipate passes and so on. By doing something out of the ordinary, you can catch them off guard and have the best of both worlds. The only issue is that if the Broncos make a mistake, the defence can catch the Broncos out with a quick spread to the right and create all sorts of problems. That's what happened against Wigan, where Hodges put through a grubber on the last and as he was making his way back to centre, the Warriors chose to spread it and caught him out. In order to fix that, the Broncos are going to have to be more selective and in a situation like that, trust one of their playmakers to come up with the play and focus on defence. [/QUOTE]
