Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3579297, member: 9052"] Usually it's the 7 doing that role, because that's how they're built... but in reality it just needs to be someone. The fullback is the brains for defence nowadays because they can see the field... storm had CS9 as the brains, but they effectively worked as an entire team to be the brains. Billy and Cooper were obviously there helping, but even the big props were spotting up fullbacks on the goalline and aware and screaming for the ball when a crash play was on. Storm forwards are aware of the ruck and need for quick ptbs to generate momentum... and on the opposite side the ball they're aware of needing to slow the ptb down. They're aware of when to give away a penalty to slow down the ruck. Storm as a team are very good at winning captain's challenges, because there's brains across the entire team... and they all seem to know the intricacies and rules of the game almost better than the refs, to know when a rule has been broken to win a challenge. When the whole team is football smart you can share the load across the squad... they don't need the 7 to tell them where to run... they just automatically get into shape. That gives the real brains time to survey the defensive line and find the weaknesses... or spot a quick ptb and setup off the back of it. [/QUOTE]
