Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2836188, member: 8988"] You need to play the right team with the right tactics that compliments either. Broncos have big backs to help take the load off the forwards in hit ups. Smaller more athletic forwards mean you can run down teams at the end. That means a high intensity running game with as little stoppages as possible. The broncos have failed at times to make best use of their athleticism, spending multiple sets of 6 defending and then playing AdLib, all or nothing plays, leading to more defence in a spiral of exhaustive defence. A big pack can get you out of trouble, when that happens early on, but if is less forgiving later in the halves and more vulnerable to smaller backs with good footwork. Its a balancing act, but what matters is not the size of pack but how it can compete with its opponents. The bulldogs and their big skillful forwards can strike early but need a start-stop game. The broncos try and do the opposite, keeping kicks in play and constantly moving the ruck. Ideally if you can throw in repeat sets like Melbourne does, at will, the size becomes less important. They're forwards always look better there than when they leave for it. [/QUOTE]
