Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2509229, member: 1764"] Great first post, Stratten. And agree completely, the Broncos backline is certainly the slowest in the competition. And beyond that, it lacks power. Reed and Hodges can hold their own and get an offload away, and Hoffman can bust tackles, but you never expect any of our wingers or fullback to bust through a chase line. You never expect Reed or Hodges to run onto a pass and just be too strong close to the line. The other side effect which people around here have been throwing their hands in the air about for years is the flat attack. It's very easy for defences to compress against us because if you rush up from out wide and get in the face of Corey Norman on the 2nd man play then you've shut it down completely. He seems incapable of getting a grubber through to Hoffman and under any pressure he will always take the tackle rather than flick a pass on. Our backline is without doubt the least potent in the club's history and certainly the weakest backline in the game. I'm just not sure if that's all the individual players, the game plan or the ineffective halves...I think it's a combination of the whole lot. [/QUOTE]
