My work here is done.

do you seriously think defenders cant pick who the decoy runners are now days ?
I think it would be pretty easy to pick if you were playing Parramatta in the last 2 years...but pretty hard for some of the better teams. Probably why they keep doing it.do you seriously think defenders cant pick who the decoy runners are now days ?
Two of our tries last week involved a very similar move - in one Hopoate got the ball and set out the outside man; in the other he acted as decoy and hayne set up the outside man.
Last year we probably scored neither: he decoy was either non existent or non effective; and the time he did get the ball wouldn't have executed as well as hoppa.
By having an attacking option as dangerous as hayne it became a two try play. When it was just hayne and a nuffy we prob score no tries.
Surely the effectiveness of decoys, or more likely option runners, is largely down to the timing of the runs and particularly the timing of the dummy half's work? Half a second of snafu at the ruck and everything else is irrelevant.
Good point Barry. Although they don't need to time it off the play-the-ball. They can time it off the pass, or anywhere in between.

Don't forget he set up the #academy
There's nothing wrong with them. We're lacking leaders, not footy players.
