You know what contributes dropped balls? Fatigue
You know what contributes to fatigue?
Defending too much and being wacked in tackles
You know why that happens to the Broncos?
Lack of spark and speed out of dummy half both with service and running options as the opposition D don't have to get at the hooker from marker. If they did, it would cause the opposition to fatigue at a faster rate also, therefore reducing their tackle effectiveness and therefore not sting so hard in their tackle efforts.
Causing faster PTB, bigger gaps allowing better PCM, allowing players like Milford to attach those gaps and cause line breaks.
It is all connected. A hooker with an attacking game is 100% necessary especially when you have a plodder fullback who doesn't cause the defence of opposition any head aches like Teddy or Slater once did
