Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3393217, member: 9052"] In the early exchanges tonight we were struggling a bit with meterage and losing the field position battle. We were having to get it out to the edges for some half breaks, but eventually we got on top... it becomes risky having to play that style vs having middles just rolling them through the middle. Haas has shown an increased intent to offload this year... I think he'll get there as the team's confidence grows, and I think his ball playing is coming along really well. Reynolds has the shape ready for him out the back and it is a real surprise to the defence when he does pass it because they are so used to him tucking it under the wing. There will be a point where the defence will have to respect the pass and at that point Payne will have less defensive pressure on him. Already this year Payne has been making line breaks off nothing... so it's not like he is only a battering ram. The thing what is really missing at the moment is the dummy half being able to utilise him when we're 5m out. It's something storm have perfected, but we struggle generating the quick ptb's and running the lines correctly... I think having Paix there will improve that, because he is always keen to have a crack when we get close to the line. Also if Haas can find intensity and aggression in his game... he'd be near unstoppable. [/QUOTE]
