Message: [QUOTE="Alec, post: 2758261, member: 1795"] Our forward pack doesn't play to its strength in attack. McGuire, Blair, Gillett, Parker - they are some of the most skillful forwards in the NRL, but they haven't been showing that off much this year. Blair putting players into gaps, Parker offloading late 3+ times a game, etc. That's what we need to rely on. I'm not saying they need to be "loose" like Cartwright is at times, but get some second phase play going... Milford and Hunt aren't real organisers, and work best running off that. But the main weakness of our forwards has been the middle third defence. It's still the same passive "come to us" shit as last year, only without the sting in tackles, no wrestling, and worse defence than last year too. And once the good opponents pick up their 70 to 80 metres in a set of 6, our goal line defence doesn't have the same edge to it to make up for the passiveness either, unlike last year. Move up more as a unit, hit hard in the tackles, wrestle if you are not. Oh, and work on defending the opposition's inside passes and straightening plays. Like Johns has been saying, the team slides well, but as soon as you change angles, the Broncs struggle to adjust. [/QUOTE]
