Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2796053, member: 1899"] If more posters put forward an effort like Freaky, the board would be a better place. The video highlights the halves inability to redeem mediocre sets of six. That's the issue with playing such an off-the-cuff style, it doesn't allows the halves to execute their plays from set positions. In comparison, watch North Queensland or Melbourne play. Their play is like clockwork and outside of rehearsed set plays there's rarely any ball movement. You'll rarely see a forced offload from either side, only a select few players carry that license (Bromwich) while the rest have to play what's infront of them. In contrast, Blair, Gillett, McGuire, Parker, Thaiday, Pangai Jr, Milford, Wallace etc. wouldn't be afraid to promote the ball and keep the opposition guessing. At times it resulted in brilliant play, for instance watch that try against Melbourne in Round 15 2015. When it works, it looks great but if the opposition can cover up, it limits what the halves can produce. That isn't making an excuse by the by. The elite halves can all conjure up those set-redeeming kicks. If Hunt was valued at half his asking price, you'd be able to live with it, but at a million? [/QUOTE]
