Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2583205, member: 1847"] Like at least one other poster, the thought of Hodges running the ball back makes me shudder given his dodgy achilles. His natural instinct is to step, and at full speed, I foresee disaster. Same if he has to try to chase down Inglis. Hodges is great in short bursts at cover defence but long runs really worry me. Hodges at 5/8 seems more sensible as he really plays a similar game at centre, especially running from dummy half and stepping, fending, and his offloading would be great on the edges, especially with Barba behind the line in support. My major concern is Sutton and Sam Burgess running on the edges, especially if they offload. I actually don't think we will have a problem controlling the middle as long as we don't fantasize about trying to roll over the Souths pack. For mine, our best game is when our forwards pass before hitting the line and getting the ball moving. The combination of Barba and Gillett just has to happen again this game. It's absolutely lethal. As a number of us posted before, our kicking game to Inglis is really important. No sitters into his breadbasket with 20metres before our chasers get to him or he will shred us, and equally, the Bunnies pet play of giving Inglis the ball at speed close to our line. Fatal unless we move up fast on him as soon as he is spotted waiting for the ball. It would also be so good to see some more cross field kicks to Vidot and Copley. I see a broncos win by 12 [/QUOTE]
