Message: [QUOTE="NSW stables, post: 3129975, member: 10150"] The issue with the passive defence is that you typically lose the collision, and the momentum goes with the attacker. Additionally, by not moving up the attack has a greater opportunity to move the ball around, think and identify weak points in the line, create opportunities and gaps or get to the weaker defenders. Whilst looking at teams with agressive line speed, cronk got through GF with a busted scapula because their defence cut melbourne's opportunity to get to him. In 2015 this defence worked because our goal line defence moved up off the line, cutting the opposition teams time to move the ball around (in effect achieving what aggressive line speed does) and we showed great desperation. We dont have that anymore. On top of this, we could also defend this way because the 2015 broncos could score from anywhere on the field and score long distance tries, this is not something we can do as often and it is reflected in our difficulties scoring points.
