Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3248952, member: 1899"] It also doesn't help when you lose your captain during the warm-up. Lexi has clearly gotten on but if nothing else his presence allows the Broncos to get their rotations right. Riki is a quality prospect but he's just ready for that starting role. The Broncos are trying to rely on his edge play just like the Eels were using Papali'i and Cartwright but he just gets manhandled and it relieves all the pressure. The only time the Broncos had any success with their edge forward in a formation was in the second half when Brodie played short to Pangai Jr who got his arm free. It seemed like the Eels had the support runner (Farnworth? Isaako?) covered before the pass but it looked likely. The Broncos need to play with more width. When I look at the team, the two most likely try-scorers are the wingers Oates and Coates. I think they need to get them the ball as much as possible if only to stretch the defence. Right now constantly sending Haas, Pangai, Carrigan, Riki etc. into brick walls isn't helping anything. The Broncos need to put that cross-field kick for Coates in the back-pocket for awhile.
