Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3473274, member: 9052"] I found it hard to get a gauge on whether there was any improvement, because we spent the bulk of the game defending or just working out of yardage, and when we did have the ball Reece Walsh was putting on a master class. A criticism I would have from the team as a whole was impatience inside the 20m, which would be a carry over from last year... we were unable to build any sustained pressure due to either turning the ball over early in the set or having ineffective kicks on the last (when we actually got to the last tackle). I feel we don't really play through our dummy halves inside the 20m anyway either... when Campbell is the opposition fullback I would've liked to see some plays where the dummy half is getting a big forward 1v1 against him, but when we did it was telegraphed and the running forward was treating it as a settler rather than opportunity to score. The broncos should be practicing these types of plays non-stop during training as it is, because getting the fullback 1v1 is the number one tactic used against Walsh from last year so he needs practice defending against it anyway. In general I would like to see more of our red zone attack going through the dummy halves... spotting up forwards against their opposite in 1v1 situations to geenrate quick ptb's, etc. but we seem to always get it into the backlines hands or going for one out settlers. Plays like that provide a point of difference for the attack to reduce pressure on the backline and halves to produce all the points.... or create quick ptb's for the backline to work off, which is the most effective time to attack in the current game.
