Well, seems my eyes didn't deceive me. Thanks to those brilliant folk at Rugby League Writers, who also saw the same thing. Haas is running a wider line than usual, engaging the centre and edge forward and setting up a short side mismatch in numbers. Note both the mess at marker + the quick play-the-ball...
