It's got nothing to do with turning your back.

If you're coming across in cover and they step inside then they're behind you. It's not rocket surgery.
Yes it has, it's one of the first things you learn in u/7, never turn your back. Hayne did it 10m out as well, he was never going to stop him even if he did get a hold of him. In that situation you take the ball carrier 100% of the time. It was useless defending, most other fullbacks would've taken the ball carrier head on.

Another great kick from Keating, and a fantastic chase from Horo

Edit-Picker is down, accidental boot to the head. Looked like it'd sting

Rocket surgery? What kind of strange profession is that!

I get the feeling if the Eels could hold onto the ball, they'll win the game.

That would involve holding the ball, which is impossible for Parramatta atm.

TLL coming on for Picker, should mean he gets to play in the back row rather that prop like last week.

He didin't turn his back, he allowed enough room so the carrier couldn't draw and pass. The reason Thompson ended up behind him is because he stepped inside. That left Hayne to have to turn around to chase him.
