Kick cahse has always been part of the game, as has the bomb. But the bronx have found a way to combine them both.
The broncos get to half way and put up a 30 m bomb to the corner. Like any bomb they have a chance of getting the ball back. Manlys back 3 are great under the high ball but that isnt the problem. As they chase this bomb hard they are able to hammer the ball carrier in the corner of the field deep in there own territory, giving the back 3 No chance of returning the ball. This ensure they have a full line of defence due to the hang time as well
This is the sole reason why the warriors and the dragons had little chance of getting out of there own half. Its boreing as bat **** but mighty effective
Manly will be able to defuse the bombs as they kick from so far out they struggle to contest them but there is no chance of getting easy metres from the return or the subsequent tackles due to the position on the field, and the dedication to the chase
Lockyer playing will probably help as he will be one of the kickers and a little tentative but anyone can play this position so a uninjured player may play this role better
Lockyer is invaluable if manly get a roll on and he can stem the flow with his leadership but if manly let the broncos get control early it is a hard road back.
For this reason manly must run with the breeze in the first half allowing cherry to kick us out if this happens in the first half. They are much stronger in the first half than the second
The broncos are a strong fit squad, all goers that follow the script well. Its up to manly to stop them and test them with a game that doesnt allow them the tactics they want. If so manly can take them
