[QUOTE="Marty Jay, post: 2535515, member: 8445"] What I've noticed this year is how burnt out our forwards appear to get towards the back end of the game. We have started well, but faded out around the 30-60min period, then struggle to recover. I noticed a huge negative change in momentum this year, consistently, at a defining point. When the coach would rotate a strong starting Andrew McCollough. For what reason?? He wasn't fatigued! The idea was, to bring on a replacement hooker who would be fresh and flaring with 10 to 5mins remaining in the half to potentially steal a try in the "danger period" and put a dint in the opposition. Then, they would not rotate Macca back on because it was a waste of an interchange!? ummm...it's a waste of an interchange as it is!!! Okay, for most of the year we had Ben Hunt filling this role. We all know why this wasn't working and the negative repercussions of playing Hunt in this role instead of giving him an entire year in the intrust supercup as a halfback. But, when Hook switched Hunt to 7 and Wallace to 14, we found our new halfback, but scorned another. There was never an incentive for Wallace to play any kind of inspiring role off the bench after being dropped. This was done out of loyalty. Detrimental to the team a thing like loyalty. I liked Granville in this role when he got a chance in 2013. But seriously!? Shouldn't we be focusing more on the issue of it being a waste of an interchange if the replacement hooker doesn't perform? Here is why we have burnt out forwards!!!!! Lets train McCollough to be an 80min hooker. There aren't too many in our game, but I already know the Broncos have been putting McCollough through extensive Cameron Smith mimicking sessions where he studies his style of play. I strongly disbelieve the talks of the Broncos chasing Smith with all their cash. They want to build one up as their first option because lets face it, no matter how much money you have to throw at Smith, he can still say no! And he's not a long term option! He'll have what, three years left by that point? Plus we need a solution for 2014!? Smith is on contract til 2015....silly. Broncos, train McCollough to be an 80min player. Cement our spine. I'm so pissed about Corey Norman being a pussy and leaving now, and I bet he feels extremely remorseful heading to a club with such turmoil now the Broncos are desperate for a good running 5/8th. So unfortunate! But, he's done what he's done. And we are in need of a young 5/8th who is there for the long haul. I hope and google news search Anthony Milford to the point where I have been checked by google spam alert more than twice for "unusual search traffic" while looking fo great news! Unfortunately we aren't going to find out anything til Novemeber it seems :/ but yes, without Milford....we are in very desperate territory! So we need to get that figured out ASAP! Do not run anyone currently in the side at #6. Just don't. (Also liking Karmichael Hunt at 6, he's only 26. Plenty of NRL years in him yet as AFL are saing he's done!) [/QUOTE]
