Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3270558, member: 9052"] Turps taking a step might have thrown Haas' timing out... Taking that step allows the defence to get off their line and up in his face. Actually looking at the play TPJ runs under Haas, which holds him up and allows the defence to get up in his face. It was definitely on for Haas as well and the play is exactly what we need to be doing more of. It has TPJ and Haas running crash lines next to each other. It basically becomes a pick your poison for the defence because if Turps picks the right pass then good fucking luck trying to stop either of them with a stretched defensive line. In the still shot below the eels defence looks way out of shape and is stretched at the ruck (looks like it's Reed, Brown? and then Oppa). I think the issue is actually them trying to be too cute with the play. TPJ is running a decoy from the outside in to try and suck Brown in and get Haas on his outside shoulder with only Opa left to try and tackle him., but do we really need to try that hard to create even more space for Haas?? The worse thing about the play they ran is at no point did Turps consider TPJ an option... once Turps takes the step TPJ is out of the play and is one less player for the defence to worry about. I think if TPJ and Haas are running direct lines on either side of Brown... he is absolutely fucked. Even at the point of picking up the ball Turps has the eels stretched... if Haas doesn't get held up by TPJ coming under Turps can just fire the ball to him and there is absolutely no way that a half and a center are stopping Haas that close to the line. That is exactly what storm do with NAS, and is what they did last year with Tino so often... when you have a big strong mobile middle forward you don't need to be all that cute... as soon as you are within 5m and you can manage to get the ruck defence stretched fire it to whichever one has the match up advantage and they won't be stopped.
