Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 2476737, member: 8187"] Wonderful game, just what the doctor ordered. I thought Prince was excellent, he was running to the line before passing (something Wallace needs to do more) and the combinations were working well. Hoffman was fantastic on the wing and was playing like a Centre (which IMO is a better place for him, having him on the wing allows him to do that. A little like Lote and Wendell and Uate. Refer to the Dolphins game he played when he was dropped last year). Obviously St. George struggle to attack well for some reason but they had their chances and the Broncs were excellent in keeping them out. Was it just me or was there a penalty bias there? I mean the count seems ok but some of the calls were a little skewed IMO. I think Hodges is ok just got cold but they will probably rest him anyway. Also, although it is unfortunate to lose the "Big Show" I think this will force some of the lesser forwards to play up to prove themselves. Gillet looked much more confident and although still slacking a bit Norman and McCullough seemed a little more switched on about their roles and the movement of the ball. Glenn needed more ball and Reed was the one person looking to have a confidence problem. His break was great but he clearly doubted his skill and pace and ability to find a bit of space for the support that was coming and ended up tripping himself. Also, how great was it to see a busting try from Hannant? That was superb! We haven't really had that from a Front Row forward since Hala came and went. To be honest the pace of the game this early in the competition it's no wonder they were tired. You really can't train for that very well. That was 80 minutes of full on footy there was very little stoppage and the ball was in the opposition hand for long stretches of time. Also, can someone please tell me how the shoulder charge rule applies to attacking players, for example those ball runners that lead with the shoulder? It seems like this is the same thing as a defensive shoulder charge to me. Cheers guys. [/QUOTE]
