Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2430779, member: 2221"] Yeah, agree with most of this. Our attack is stiffled, and I wonder how much emphasis is put into the little things that make the difference. I understand our defense was the highest priority after the Henjak disaster, but now is really the time to start focusing on our attack, and utilise the talent we have, although we definitely need to get our ruck defense together as well. Our line is often too flat in attack, and too many times do I see players either get in the way of the player carrying the ball, or over- running him. Hoffman has the speed and hands to be a very good support fullback in attack, but it's almost like no work is put into teaching him to pace himself and get that extra metre or extra second that will make all the difference in a sweeping play. He often seems to run into a defensive player before he can do anything with the ball. Gillett should be used in the same way Glenn Stewart is used at Manly, and Hodges definitely needs to get the ball in space. This is all stuff that can be practised at training. Not too sure about Hunt's role in this though, I don't think we can afford to have him in the second row and we need Macca to play 80 minutes. I just hope we emulate the Brisbane Roar, who started great, then had a shocking midseason, only to come back strong at the business end and take it all! :rockon: [/QUOTE]
