Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2514759, member: 1899"] We were never going to keep that tempo for the full 80 that's for sure. That was one of the best starts I've seen from the Broncos in sometime, even better than our performance against the Titans @ Suncorp. We asked plenty of questions of the Cowboys defence and executed superbly. Naturally as the Cowboys began to receive more possession our offence began to suffer and at times it became very ugly. Prince attempting a tap on when it wasn't on, passes going behind players etc. When Wallace came on, his presence definitely had a negative influence on the side. Brisbane lost their potency around the ruck and their defence in the middle third became noticeably softer. There is only so much that can be expected of Wallace. His defence is highly flaunted by fans but has never been of the standard of say an Andrew Johns who could bend players over backwards - Wallace was just good at absorbing the offence. That's fine on the fringes, but in the middle it gives the offence too much momentum and we saw that when he gave away a costly penalty on Mat Scott after making a good one on one tackle on Scott. The question is do we persevere with Wallace who is clearly a player of NRL standard or do we pull the pin right away? I was disappointed in the performance of Tasi. I thought he was very loose defensively and really didn't give Hook much of a choice. [/QUOTE]
