Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2436076, member: 1847"] The point is not the opposition. The point is that Gillett got the ball with room to move and while running at speed, and that the inside pass was secondary to the outside dummy, and the angles run, which is NOT how we usually use our back rowers. What we do too much is play flat flat flat and too often one out and as others have posted, against class defense, that style of play will get squashed 99% of the time. As for Hodges, again the point is that his right foot step, fend and offloading to a running support player is the key to his effectiveness. Instead we use him as a dummy half runner most of the time. He either gets nailed with the ball or offloads to a flat footed support who either gets nailed or gets a pass away within a flat attacking structure, again with everyone standing still. Hook may well have got the defense right but the attack at the moment will never out score the top sides. [/QUOTE]
