The Big Plays

[Big Pete]

Some interesting comments in the presser. Basically, Bennett put the win down to Brisbane coming up with more big plays than the Eels.

In years past, with the game on the line, it always seemed as if the Broncos struggled to come up with the right play to end it.

However this season we've already seen plenty of instances where a player has been able to step up in a crucial period and really swing the game.

Thaiday's tackle in Round 2
Maranta's run in Round 3
Milford's double in Round 5
Hunt's golden try in Round 6
Milford's timely double in Round 8

Even McCullough's 40/20 in Round 7 was something special.

If there is one thing that has changed so far in 2015, it's the Broncos capacity to make these big plays at crucial moments and it may go a long way of securing them a Top 4 spot.

Agree or Disagree?

Agree 100%. This is what Wayne Bennett brings. These are the qualities Darren Lockyer had as a player - the ability to produce the big play at the right time. It's such a good sign for our young players like Hunt, Milford and Macca.

Composure under pressure enables the big plays. That for mine is Bennett's best contribution so far.

Now it's time to really work on combinations and a few set plays to be applied consistently, and again, I come back to THAT 1st try v Dragons. Why didn't we see that wonderful set piece last night is beyond me. That try is one of the big plays for me so far this season, along with Hunt's golden point effort.
