Hey guys,
I know most of us consider ourselves coaches of our great club while we are watching the games haha, I know I do. So I thought I'd ask, what would you perfect and do if you were the Broncos coach?
What would you change? What would you implement?
What I want to know is - who coaches our attack? who coaches our structures and attacking plays? is it Griffin? Because at the moment, our attack can be so much better. We have no real structured set plays. Our decoy runners do not look believable. I watch the Manly, Melbourne and Souths decoy runners and they all look pretty believable, running with open arms looking like they are ready to catch the ball, leaving the defence in two minds asking them the question of are they going to catch the ball or be a decoy. It causes confusion in defence and honestly, we lack believable decoy runners. Rarely it happens, at times Thaiday and Hannant run a great decoy but it doesn't happen enough. We need to start having real choreographed set plays.
When we had the likes of Langer, Walters, Lockyer etc we didn't really need set plays as those guys could come up with something off instinct, they were once in a lifetime players, but these days, our current crop doesn't have the natural ability to cause something out of nothing, perhaps Barba could do that once in awhile, but that is why we need real set and choreographed attacking plays, in my opinion. It would assist our attack tremendously. Look at the Storms attack or Souths, they have many decoy runners running great lines and the this leaves the defence in tatters. We need to mix it up too, kick early sometimes, turn the defence around. We also need more intensity whilst playing in attack. Overall, we need to lift our intensity but especially in attack it needs to lift. When we go through the hands, it is done at a medium pace with no real intensity, it lacks any real passion, speed and threat. We will scores but imagine how many more tries we'd score if we had set attacking plays, with believable decoy runners running great lines, doing this at high speed and intensity? It changes everything. It will instil fear and confusion into opposition defensive lines, they won't be able to defend if we have real speed and intensity, doing things quick and hard.
Who coaches our defence? It's Kearny, right? Well, I don't think he's the man to shake up our defence and add that grunt we need. Our defence was poor last season. Defence comes down to wanting to make that tackle for the guy next to you & last season I think we lacked that heart & passion to do that but perhaps this season will be different. We just need to be incredibly fierce in defence and hit with sting. Communicate better in the defensive line and work on our defensive structure.
Those are my 2 cents, what do you think guys?
