Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2876268, member: 9052"] The only time set plays were better than anything was ~08?? when khunt led the comp for try assists because Broncos were able to put the sweep on whenever they wanted... and when we put it on he was able to pass, run or kick. It was basically unstoppable. The sweep is well defended nowadays and is only exploited when the offensive team has the numbers. Storm can execute when they're on top but if their challenged in the forward battle they don't stand a chance. Their set plays are based on quick play the balls, which means winning the ruck. They have ZERO emphasis on second phase play. They build their game plan on manufacturing a quick play the ball and then quickly being in or setting up a formation to provide options to the playmakers to execute. When they're behind they throw misdirected set plays at you and rarely rely on throwing offloads. If you see them throwing offloads you know they're at their last straw and have nothing else left ie last few minutes against sharks in the 16 GF They are a team that relies almost entirely on winning the play the ball, whereas other teams can move to second phase play or high pressure defence and adapt rather well. Storm are set in their ways and have little flexibility [/QUOTE]
