Message: [QUOTE="Dash, post: 2743730, member: 8761"] Credit to the sharks, they played exactly how you want to play against the Broncos. They didn't let us 'rope-a-dope' in defence, by regularly offloading and shifting wide early in the game. Hunt loves to punish teams who charge at him on the 5th, but you could see them start to charge then back off, ready for him to run. They were all over Milford, who's just a kid still and prone to bad choices when forced to play outside of instinct. On our end, our biggest problem was slow ruck speed. Our forwards were being met behind the play the ball nearly every tackle. Prior must have been offside about 1000 times, but we're never going to get the penalties so we have to work on that. The halves needed to take over and shift the ball wide every now and then to keep the sharks on their heels (this is where we missed Blair's ball playing). 5 hit ups one off the ruck will get you nowhere when being swarmed like that. It was terrific to see the effort in the second half. We went from playing at 2/10 to 6/10 and still nearly ran down a 22 point deficit. Get it to 10/10 and not even the cowboys can stop us.
