Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2936937, member: 1847"] In '15, IIRC, and I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong, I read that Bennett made a deliberate decision to let Milford in particular, and Hunt, and then both, play they way they wanted to, free of rigid structures, and to run the ball at will, play off each other, get the ball moving, and, at the same time, focus 200% on our defence. The result was a free flowing attack with Milf and Hunt doing some great stuff as a halves pairing, and our defence in '15 was stellar. Since, as others have observed, Milf has had that freedom taken away from him and given the responsibility of game management (I hate that term), we have been going backwards. It's only in the last few weeks it seems Milf has again been let off the leash again and the results are pretty obvious. His game is a whole lot better. Personally, I hope Bennett persists with Bird at half and focuses on working on our halves - combinations in particular, and getting Roberts into space with quality ball. [/QUOTE]
