Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2673109, member: 2221"] Maranta should've have opened a line of pass instead of trailing Nikorima all the time. He should have opened to the right of Nikorima, but instead stayed behind him all the time, until he just switched off when Nikorima accelerated. Just look at Lachlan's positioning throughout the play. Just after the line break: [IMG]https://www.broncoshq.com/upload/uploads/1430065572.png[/IMG] Half way through Kodi's run, who is looking to his right for someone in support, but both are heading in the same direction and Maranta is still in no position to receive a ball: [IMG]https://www.broncoshq.com/upload/uploads/1430152323.png[/IMG] At the moment Kodi realises he doesn't have someone to pass the ball in open field (to the right), and accelerates. At the same time, Maranta switches off and coasts: [IMG]https://www.broncoshq.com/upload/uploads/1430076205.png[/IMG] It is elementary that when you have a line break like that, the support player doesn't keep the same line as the ball carrier, much less right behind him. Kodi looked 2 or 3 times to his right for support and saw no one there and then he accelerates. Maranta probably thought he's going for it, and "switched off". It is clear imo that he is not ready to continue the play when Kodi passes, but we were fortunate Milford was there to score the try. Why did Kodi throw a hail mary flick pass in your opinion?
