Manly have been big on either hitting the ball up to the outside runner 1 off the ruck, or shifting the ball to an outside runner directly off the halves.
There were some simple, subtle changes on Sat that paid dividends.
2 tries to Lawrence and Hastings were perfect simple drop off plays to a man running the inside lane....and the inside options in general against Cows created plenty of damage.
Mixing up the inside ball is a must and stops that clunky outside play that becomes predictable, sideways and takes space off the wide attack.
Nothing tricky but tests those lazy/tired inside defenders and look forward to more of this in 2017.
