Goodwins bad reads in defence will cost us games, folau on debut last week made him look like a reserve grader and his poor defence led directly to the bulldogs second try. All opposite halves know his going to get caught out regularly and it only took a injury to lafai for the bulldogs to stop targeting him
I watched the game back and the Dogs 2nd try was the fault of Keary who came in and missed the tackle on Hodkinson forcing Goodwin too come in. But the Dogs threw the ball further wide to Perrett and there was nothing Goodwin could do.
Even if Lafai was on the field for 2nd half I would still back Bryson to shut down Lafai.
The opposite halves know it's better to run at Millard and Reddy. Millard at centre is weak and needs help to tackle someone plus when he runs the ball Millard gets pushed back 6 metres.
The Folau tries were the fault of GI, Keary, Goodwin and Johnston. Folau is a winger too. No point singling out Goodwin when a few others stuffed up as I said. It's a team game!
Millard, Reddy and Lowe will cost us more games than Bryson will. Madge will definitely stick with Goodwin.
