Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3141794, member: 9052"] I think this is becoming an issue... you look at the eels and the roosters and their back 5 are making good meters out of their own end. It's vital now more than ever to get yardage out of your own end with the lack of penalties (as opposed to 6 agains) so getting cheap meters from kicks is less likely. Isaako seems to get no post contact meters and Niu looks like he's struggling a little bit, but he looks pretty stocky and probably has a bit of power in him... so I think he'll get better as he adjusts. Even Staggs is not great at getting post contact meters... he really needs to get his body into better positions, because he's such a powerful player that it doesnt make sense he gets so dominated from dummy half runs Herbie has been copping some flack for not being able to make meters, but I think that has coincided with his move to the centers. Against manly (the last time he played wing) he had 167m off 16 runs... he's good at getting his body between defenders to work forward and then seems to find a quick play the ball. Even against the roosters he had 10 runs for 92m. In the centers he's averaging close to 30 tackles a game... that seems like a lot for a center to be making. So potentially the increased defence is impacting on his running game. At this stage I think we need his running out of our own end more than we need him at center. [/QUOTE]
