Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2995388, member: 9052"] Soooooo just thought I'd chime in and mention that when they're talking about meters from the outside backs it's the player getting into dummy half or first receiver and taking a hit up A lot of mentions that there wasn't enough ball going to Jimmy but when you're talking about the back 5 making meters it comes down to the individual seeking out work. I felt that Jimmy was a little lazy in that department last year but I'll put that down to his Achilles injury because in 2017 he was a decent meter eater and really proved how strong of a runner he is. The comparisons to last year's back 5 is like claiming Vidot is a beast because he made 150m a game, but would you want Vidot over Isaako or Jimmy... The game plan was clear: 1st tackle: kick return to whoever 2nd tackle: Oates (whilst the forwards got back) 3rd tackle: forward (if they got back) or whichever outside back was nearby 4th: forward 5th: forward or spread it 6th: kick it The only constant was Oates having a hit up on either 2nd or 3rd... we didn't play like the roosters who relied on dummy half runs from physical outside backs. Instead we relied on our physical forward pack. Hard for outside backs to make meters when they're not actually required to in the game plan [/QUOTE]
