Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3479151, member: 9052"] Because the end statement I was replying to was "[I]Allowing our forwards to focus on defence and ball playing, damaging runs in the attacking zone.[/I]" My first statement was in response to our forwards and why we would look to utilise them... i.e. they're fucking good at it, so it's coached into them to do it. Or is Haas just making 150m a game on a couple kick off sets and settlers inside our 20m? My second line was in regards to 'how we do use our backs for yardage sets'... which was addressing the general statement of the comment I was replying to. I then went to how this deviates on a kick off set i.e. when the ball is in front of the forwards. Which is where Panthers do use their forwards... i.e. Penrith do not exclusively use their backs for yardage at all times. The general use of forwards taking hitups is when the ball is in front of them (kick off sets, drop out sets, penalty sets for settlers, etc.)... when it's behind them they'll wait for the backs to ruck it out and get the ball in front of them... that's their general way of conserving energy. For the Panthers they almost exclusively use backs on kick return sets... For us Haas and co will look to take a hitup on a kick return if the ball is in front of them. Haas just happens to have a massive motor and is always looking for a run. Patty then likes to follow and run off the back of him. Is that what's best for us or could we look to better utilise our players... I don't know I'm just providing an observation of how we like to play and why we might like to play that way compared to other teams. If our strength is Haas and co making meters then it would be expected that our game plan would look to utilise this... if we suddenly said to Staggs you're taking 20 hitups a game, whilst Haas is conserving energy for his pillow defence and Patty is only used inside the 20m for ball playing, then you're replacing Haas' meters and Patty's quick ptb's for Staggs who typically gets belted on yardage runs and may not be suited to 20+ runs a game like Herbie and Oates are.
