Message: [QUOTE="Kelleher, post: 3007979, member: 8803"] All the commentators are talking about our halves but at this stage I am far more concerned about our forwards. When you consider the investment we have in this supposedly amazing forward pack, they way the Storm forwards destroyed them with relative ease is very concerning.[/QUOTE] This is simply not true. The forwards actually put up a good fight against Melbourne. Melbourne had a far superior kicking game, which gave their forwards a rest when needed and not to mention better field position. Broncos forwards were always under pressure defensively and it is hard to continue to defend in dangerous territory for long periods at a time and then be asked to run out of your own danger zone when you do get to attack. Fatigue had a lot to do with our lack of attack. Defensively the forwards did a job the best they could. The tries were not from steam rolling up the park through the forwards, besides Bromwich’s try at the end. Two of Melbourne’s tries were quite lucky (as was one of ours). It’s a team effort. What the halves do affects the forwards and vice versa. Melbourne did win the wrestle though and that is one thing that shows up in a youthful forward pack. [/QUOTE]
