3. Curran
2. Egan
1. CHT
Curran is too good for us. Tries his ass off and always comes up with something special every game, only to watch the rest of the team throw it away.
Taylor had some nice grubbers - some of the few times we managed to build pressure. But defensively he's a mess and didn't help steer us around in the second half when we needed it the most.
CHT still hasn't nearly reached his potential, but had quite a few nice moments today and shows some starch in defence. He's way ahead of Nikorima for me. But still so much lacking from a true first grade half.
Berry was in lala land today. Arthars outshined him. We are so so weak on both edges it's killing us. No power, no finishing ability, no defensive trust or positioning either. God I'd love to have prime Fusitua back, or pre-drugs Manu. Or even just a journeyman who has half a brain and a little speed.
Walsh was just about the only player that looked dangerous and creating attacking options, but he had absolute butterfingers. Too many rocks with those diamonds.
We are in desperate need of completions and leadership. We need the mental fortitude to not layer f**k ups on top of f**k ups by consistently letting opponents out of their half with a penalty EVERY SINGLE TIME we make an error at the disastrous ends of our sets. We need to learn how to take anything but the worst possible options at the end of our sets (or in some cases, take a poor option on tackles 3 or 4)!
The whole team needs to learn some patience and grind. We'll create plenty of chances of we cut out all the brain explosions, silly penalties, and dropsies. They are hardly giving themselves a chance. Our own worst enemies as usual.
Just wait until we play a top 4 team. It will be a blowout. We're only staying in the game because both the teams we've played so far are terrible.
