Message: [QUOTE="Aldo, post: 2523953, member: 8341"] We have a very soft underbelly and weak as shit up the middle. Getting Barba and Milford will not fix this. Obtaining Kennedy for next may help a bit but it won't be enough to make up for some of other forward's lack of aggression. Apart from Hodges, we have no 'leaders' that can lift the team when we need it (Lockyer, Smith etc) and steer the team around the park and I don't think any of the guys we are chasing will fill this role in the short term. When they become available, I'd be throwing everything we have to obtain either Cherry-Evans or Smith. Not real sure what is getting done with the obvious defensive deficiencies as the same old shit has been happening all year and to a large part of last year. It is like the coaching staff are unaware of them (i.e. defensive problems). We very rarely win the ruck and wrestle, and let other teams get to their feet way to quick. And ffs, let's be a little more desperate to get to our feet for a quick play the ball. Watching guys like Hunt and Gillete just amble to their feet after getting tackled is not fucking acceptable. A bit of aggression and desperation to get to your feet after being tackled wouldn't go astray. I've been a big supporter of Griffin as it seems the players all love him and I'm still clutching at him making the Broncs a force again, but **** I'm quickly losing my patience with him given that there has been no improvement whatsoever throughout the year in defense. Our attack I think has been solid and I think we march up the field quite well, especially since Wallace has been benched, but defensively we are atrocious and a figurine made of paper mache would be harder to get through than some of our forwards when defending our line. I'm happy for Griffin to have another crack next year but he needs to make some more hard calls and get rid of more deadwood in this team as I don't see a future in the NRL for a few of them. I think the Broncs need to be looking at what coaches will become available following next year just in case Griffin isn't up to it. [/QUOTE]
