Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2995391, member: 8814"] None of those players aren't capable of making good metres, we don't have a Jonathan Wright or lachlan maranta with shit running games. hey are all strong runners of the ball. I think the article more highlights that our game plan was under 10's stuff - forwards hit it up then hope for our fast players do something special. With the roosters game plan, the backs getting more involved meant the forwards were fresher to bend the line more effectively and the way their backs varied up the hit ups (quick feet of tedesco, swerve of Ferguson, palm of Mitchell, etc) meant that defensive lines weren't always set up for what was coming (eg certain defenders are more capable of lateral movement defensively for tedesco, others can hit and stick with latrell, etc) and if they know its coming on tackle 4 after a certain player does something else then the defensive line can anticipate it (eg marker 1 is a great legs tackler so will step to latrells side to assist if it's his run). It's sounds complex but it's really not, variety in attack. Gone are the days when individual brilliance can score you tries when you need them (eg renouf), defensive lines are too smart these days and most defenders are too good, even when it looks like individual brilliance I guarantee it was set up 2 sometimes 3 plays before 90%of the time. It's about isolating defenders and quick plays. A lot of people don't like that the game is robotic, but I enjoy watching the tactics, particularly in those grinding defensive games where you wonder where the points will come from.. [/QUOTE]
