Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3241192, member: 9052"] Which is how he was playing in round 1 he was taking the ball and players were moving around him. I think he was playing similarly in 2017 (like a first receiver halfback) & maybe the first half of 2016. To me his play in 2016 had him on path to a Dally M, but then he was overlooked for origin, dropped his head and then done his shoulder. In 2015 he was a kid that had ownership of the left edge and was bubbling around a free flowing offload game from the rest of his team... in a similar way that Luai has ownership of his left edge, although he isn't as active going back through the middle like Milf from 2015. Milf doesnt need to be Pearce and touching it on get out sets for nothing inside balls and doing the 5th tackle kicking, but he needs to take ownership of the ball inside the opposition 20m. At the moment he seems to be in this mold where he thinks he has to setup the men around him and he just ends up dumping it off to someone for a hit up, forcing a crash ball to Glenn (who cant break a tackle anyway) or taking a nothing hitup. I want him back on the right side of the field and I want Croft/Dearden to be playing open side of the ruck instead of playing blindsides .... it was embarrassing seeing Dearden sitting on a 15m blindside whilst the ball went open to Asiata and then Milf with 40-60m of field to his left.... what the **** is anyone meant to do in that kind of position?? It was a distant memory of round 1 where we spread it from inside our own 50m through Turps/DH, Croft, Asiata, Isaako and then Milf playing as a second fullback on the far left edge (opposite side of the field given he was playing right side) before Herbie put Mead away on a linebreak. It was brilliant play and had me excited for what Kevvie was bringing and how he intended to use the halves and Asiata. I still feel we have been underdone the last 2 weeks primarily due to roaming nomads (first 3 weeks we were mostly competitive bar 10min periods)... but Kevvie fucked a lot of things by reactively switching Milf to the other side of the field and then bringing Dearden in only to lessen his role to a bit part poor man's Averillo confined to an edge [/QUOTE]
