Last two games he's set the game-plan for the opposition in the first 10 minutes. They KNOW it takes 3 or 4 to stop him, they KNOW he can pop out an ofload at any time so they defend much more conservatively - and that gives BJ and Danny space to weave their magic!!
Tronc is like a glacier - he don't move quick, but when he hits something he just keeps on rolling.
How true wakeyrule. A lot of lighter or smaller front rowers have to phsyc themselves into a frenzy and hit the line at a million miles an hour. Can be really spectacular when they are on but difficult to do every week. Also they are usually prone to injury. Example Carl Webb and Mark O'Meally
Big front rowers like Tronc don't need to have their eyes spinning around in their head to make consistantly big metres. Example Steven Price, Petro Civineceva and Paul Rahihi. Thats just my theory.

I am happy his offloads are working often eneogh to make them a positive. Sometimes Troncy can overdo it. Even so he delivers 150 metres a game and a lot of tackles so the coach and halves will probably forgive him.
I think you have a really well balanced team here. All the ingredients. Good Coach, good go forward, clever halves, outstanding kicking game. I think you can actally give this competition a really good shake.
