Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2490468, member: 1899"] Allow me to re-phrase. I don't have a problem with a conservative approach, which I believe at the heart of it is what Griffin is after, my problem is that our current brand isn't consistent in that style and tries to compromise by including offensive players like Prince. It also relies too heavily on long lateral ball movement and not enough directness. The second half against the Titans is a good example of a consistent conservative game plan coming through. All Wallace did in the second half was bomb it to the corner, forcing the Titans to work it out deep from their own half and giving the Broncos all the field position. It still took the Broncos an age to put the Titans away but they were in control. The difference between the Cowboys and Tigers game was attitude. Cowboys really pushed the Broncos and the boys were determined to fight it out until the end. In the Tigers game we got out to an early lead and then played some very soft football. Why a conservative approach over an expansive approach? Because it suits our current roster. That isn't to say we should play one out football and kick to the corners all the time but we don't have the players to do those outside, inside plays or attempt chip kicks for etc. Our strength is in our forwards and it's about utilising them to the best of their ability that is going to score us our victories. Tallis is making a fair point when he reckons we need another good big boppa into the side. Given the lack of backs, I wouldn't begrudge the club signing a good prop forward to compliment our hard workers like Hannant and Parker. [/QUOTE]
