Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3371359, member: 1992"] I tend to agree somewhat and have made the following point quite a few times but for discussion sake I'll reiterate. Why are we rushing our fifth tackle play? To me there's no advantage to be gained. A slow ptb gives our playmaker time to give an instruction, check the targeted area/side/player, call his defence and ensure they have the chance to time their run, make the defenders stand still a full 20 metres away (further if he chooses) thus ensuring they are onside and not already running, two and three metres offside when he receives 'the snap' or pass and above all else it provides timing and rhythm. On KW, absolutely right. He does not use his bench well at all. I'd have two props, one second rower and a utility and with Haas a modification of that standard arrangement is possible with a dedicated prop, hybrid prop/second rower X2 and a utility. I've often thought that if you have a prop with limited skills,James Kennedy etc why not start them and use them purely as defensive battering rams. Give them the first 15 to 20 and sub them for your more versatile props. This way your yardage/ energy goes up and not down at the change. If they're good enough to play prop in the NRL they're good enough to start. It doesn't HAVE to be done the traditional way. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
