Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2891606, member: 8215"] The gaining weight thing was most certainly a thing. No one is disputing that. For such beloved fans, some of you have short memories as to the context and game plan of the time. With no Lockyer, an inexperienced half partnering Wallace, and a distinct lack of fast players, wrestling was still choking the game, so Griffin did what coaches [I]should[/I] do - he played to the team's strengths. You can't make slow players faster, at least not much, so he built the game plan on power. Short, flat, lateral play at the line, with players like Glenn and McGuire using their power and footwork to get through. And not allowing the defence time to put 3-4 players in to the ruck to slow it down. [/QUOTE]
