3-2-1 vs the bantams

[Cheese sandwich]

I thought he was quite selective with offloads last night actually. He noticeably held back on a few occasions when it wasn't on.

At 25, OK is still a kid in prop terms.

I've watched this game 3 times now. Not sure why, just wanted to have a more critical look at some things. BHU was not that bad. Most of the criticism is based on ONE error and let me tell you he was served up a shit pass on that play. He's running from inside right post to outside line. The pass hits the back of his shoulder so he had to swivel back to even try and catch it. IN 22 mins game play he averaged 10 metre per run, had an even faster PTB than OK (2.75 sec) and tackled at 80%

Not a droppable performance.

I haven't read most of the game day thread, that was clearly a garbage pass and more Hynes fault than BHU.

Why does everyone rag on OK every week?

his glaring issue is he offloads come hell or high water and loses the 15m he makes every run. Other than that he’s not horrible. Ahead of BHU and Toby still.

My main criticism of him has been his defence. Been a lot of times his contact has been poor and he lets the player get an offload away. I don't think he's much chop but obviously like to see him play well which he did last night.

Katoa dropped the ball. Was filthy. Then un d smashed a rooster to lift everyone. Ran his heart out and got us a key penalty when needed.

He did

I had some notes for a post I was going to do

29:08 minutes left - TTF drops ball in tackle
25:26 left - TTF makes a defensive decision on Butcher, creams him and Butcher drops ball.
25:15 left - 2nd tackle after hit on Butcher TTF takes a hit up, makes PTBs and then wrestles his way into a penalty

Those are effort moments needed at this time of the year.
