Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2634982, member: 8215"] I thought Thaiday went okay. He's not trying to get through the line or even dent it, He's simply going for a fast PTB. That's why he does those stupid looking steps just before the line - it means the defenders don't know exactly where he'll be positioned so they can't wrestle as effectively. While it doesn't look impressive or even pretty, more often than not it got a fast play and we were able to not only make metres on the next play, but get the Poms back-pedalling. My theory on players from better teams was not dented by that game. Walker was a liability. Cordner was invisible. And this 3 halves thing has me waiting for next year with baited breath. I remember an Origin in the late '00s where Queensland were down to 14 men and Webb played the full 80. The Cowboys coach at the time thought it was amazing, and therefore attempted to play him for 80 minutes for the club. As expected he was even more useless than normal and stunk it up as he wheezed through the game. I'm expecting a "smartest coach in the room" type to adopt a 3 half combination. I can imagine Ricky putting Campese & Cornish in the 6 and 7 and putting McCrone in the 13. "An extra half on the field equals 50% more points. Genius!". [/QUOTE]
