Message: [QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 2687310, member: 8274"] Our defence is truly a marvel, when you think about it. You could almost describe it as breaking the modern mold. Coaches like Hasler, Bellamy and Maguire have forced the game to evolve (devolve?) into rushing up on the attack, relying on field position and the wrestle to force an error or slow the game down to a crawl to give players time to settle their line. It's a very grindy, boring brand of football. Not us. We're literally a wall of flesh and sweat. Work for your teammates on both sides, get in with some solid hits and use the oppositions own momentum against them. The faster they're running at you, the more your tackle will hurt them. This strategy also works to the benefit of attack as well, because as we saw against the Storm, after they're absolute buggered having ran at our brick wall for the past 4 sets, they have no energy left to defend themselves, especially on the fringes, so we spread the ball, use our outside backs to massive effect. The cutout pass from Milf to Reed is the perfect example. So not only are we defending like champions, we're also attacking with flair and effectiveness, working to the strengths of the side, Hunt and Milf in the halves who both have an uncanny ability to run the ball, plus quality backs who have been begging for quality ball for 2 seasons.
