Broncos run a lot from dummy half and off-loads, I think the Broncos are more unstructured and have a surprise play in them more than the Roosters. Hunt will hang around the back waiting. In defence; Broncos offer a passage if you're game enough to take it. They compress up and like the Raiders in the late 80's want you to go there. They scramble well and with smaller forwards want you to see that as a way around them- not up the middle. They stay square and slide and nominate well which makes that area shut down very quickly. Roosters space well but their left side is the side to attack; Broncos will score there. Cordner shifted into the middle last week and had his best game for a long while. I liked that move. Broncos' forwards will have to stop their arms getting free with good first contact. Pearce v Hunt is interesting, on the surface Hunt seems to run more but Pearce averages more runs per game. Hunt does more with his. Hunt has 11 tries Pearce 1, Hunt has 11 line breaks Pearce 4 and tackle breaks is Hunt 45 to Pearce 21. Kicking is interesting; Maloney does all the Roosters' attacking kicks. Roosters have forced 42 drops outs- Pearce 5 of them. Broncos 26 Hunt 11. [/QUOTE]
