Yep it was ridiculous last year... the storm would literally start running down the field before the 5th tackle was even completed... Hughes would end up being the only player behind the ptb most of the time.
Right so they can still be in front of the kicker they just cant be in front of the play the ball and run down there. Just saw a few that looked similar. That explains it.
It seems odd that Melbourne have used 27 players, whereas Newcastle have only used 19 so far. You'd think if anything Newcastle are the team that may want to try out some different combinations.
Melbourne must be happy with what they're going with and just wanting to give them a 20min hit out and then switch the whole team
Very few answers as well, really scrappy stuff from Newcastle and bit of a reality check after last week's hit-out.Melbourne must be happy with what they're going with and just wanting to give them a 20min hit out and then switch the whole team
Surprised to see Ponga getting a whole half... he's their most important player... get him off the field and chuck whoever out there.
Newcastle definitely have questions still...
who's playing in the halves?
Hastings at lock?
Gamble at multiple spots to check utility value?
KPP vs Lucas, Will Pryce, Tuala vs Jenkins
Soo many questions surely
They were playing a weak pack. Love to see them play us or the wahs and see how their avg middle holds up.
