Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2493263, member: 1847"] We speak of many things we lack but IMO, the 3 things that make the Broncos vulnerable are: 1. Our halves and hooker seldom own the game. Last night, as I saw it, Ennis owned us the way he directed his forwards, gave them width, relentlessly quick service, and had structured options on both sides of the ruck; 2. Our game plan is from the 1980's, the worst aspects of which are yes, again, a flat attacking structure, or rather, lack of any, except on those good 2nd man plays. We have no passing game. As a few posted, we too often run one out then pass to the halves on the 4th or 5th tackle for a predictable kick. 3. A serious failure to support the ball runner. The criticisms of Gillett are unwarranted in that situation. He should have had 3 players preferably backs, running at full speed in support as soon as they saw him make the line break. Instead, it was only Granville. Macca is not a patch on any of the top hookers despite his solid, simple plays. He provides no width to our forwards from dummy half, and Hunt as someone else posted is simply too timid to own anything other than his shorts. Our forwards are not the problem. As well, Norman doesn't help at FB. He is too slow and runs with no impact. All he does well is 2nd man plays. He is NOT a FB. [/QUOTE]
