Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2587455, member: 1847"] I watched this again. I watched Scott in particular rip us to shreds. I watched us v Souths. I watched Burgess and Inglis trample us. Up the middle. Always up the middle. We are so soft in the middle. At the same time, I look at the scores the teams who just beat us put on others. For mine, on this analysis, we are very very competitive against anyone. Seems to to me pretty obvious where our real weakness lies. Not the only one, but the key one, defence and attack - controlling the middle. When we spread the ball, we trouble every team ... until crunch time comes and we have to control the middle, and the edges on a few occasions, especially in the last 5-10 minutes. So Hook drops Hannant. Good move, yeah. For mine, our real problem is not ⅝ but our forward pack. I said it before and I'll say it again: in the middle, against teams with strong packs, we are powder puffs and that is where we will lose all the games we end up losing. Milford? Nah. He's not gonna do anything behind the pack and bench Hook puts (and doesn't put) on. [/QUOTE]
