Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3668823, member: 9052"] I don't think it would've changed much to be honest. If we started kicking long, then you're telling Penrith that forcing a drop out was automatically them getting the ball back and six more tackles. A set going nowhere... 3rd/4th tackle drop it into the ingoal and let's go again. There's also more six agains now inside your own 30m, so there's every chance the couple tackles they waste having to get back to the 20m... assuming you can kick it 45-50m against that wind... could all be undone by a phantom six again anyway. Penrith made like 1 error in the game... kicking it long and forcing extra tackles means you're waiting for the opposition to make a mistake... which they just weren't. You then tell them that every dropout is going long, then you're basically just settling in to have no possession for the rest of the game. For us to win that game we needed to nail every chance we got... which we didn't... Or we needed to get some sort of possession just to give our guys a break... the possession stats in those last 20mins would've been insane. The real turning point was the Herbie offload to no one inside panthers 10m after we had set up the lead. The ball went to ground, Leota (I think?) picked it up and ran untouched 30m downfield and within that set they scored their first try of the comeback... we pretty much didn't touch the ball after that. If Herbie had just held the ball then we can try to set up some sustained pressure (it was like 3rd tackle) or maybe we get a final try that kills the game... Instead Herbie went a miracle offload to I think Palasia... when there was literally no other bronco within cooee and the whole panthers goal line defence waiting there. [/QUOTE]
