Message: [QUOTE="coreyh88, post: 2474558, member: 8188"] Did anyone here notice who was killing the right edge defence? I mean with the 4v 2 not Prince's tackling deficiencies. Also the main differences from second half to first were: the outnumbering on right edge defence. Hodges and reed wanted to be heroes and wouldn't pass to the wingers. Manly weren't giving away so many penalties. The half on Hodges side started to defend him a little better. Our forwards lacked any sting in their runs through both halves. Glenn was consistently good, thaiday had one or two good runs, moose was consistently okay. Half the issue is their positioning before receiving the ball though. For most hitups the dummyhalf was passing to a guy with on 2 metres of the markers which killed a lot of our go forward. We still stand far too shallow. When the ball was shifted wide most times it was so slow due to the shallowness(players had to stop running and slow down to stay behind the ball carrier.) no one was passing the ball quickly enough. I didn't notice gillet's positioning in defence but he was good when tackling. If he could catch a ball tonight he would have been close to glenn's form tonight. Make Glenn the captain already? I think Hoffman's true position is centre. I forgot about Kemp till just before but he should replace reed and switch positions with Hoffman. I say keep Norman for now he's the least of our concerns and our spine needs to gel. He timed the run onto Prince's ball well and at least has something to work from. Although nothing special in kick returns. After tonight I'd say with Norman you get timed runs with Hoffman you get kick returns, although he played very well out wide tonight. That side was defensively very good. Not sure if Hoffman had any effect on that though. [/QUOTE]
