Back three catching bombs

[BuffaloRules]

Why is it regardless of who they play at the back, no one can catch a bomb?

It's bordering on geniused.

 

[Tiger05]

On fairly easy kicks as well.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Reddy, not back three tonight but same difference.

Dropped a sitter last week on the wing.

 

[Tiger05]

Reddy has been safe as well. He had an easy take and dropped it cold.

 

[Matchball]

And moltzen isn't in the team.
We are super shit.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

And Utard, Moltzen and Koro worse than current ones!

 

[gUt]

Tuqiri can catch

 

[moller]

We must be the worst team in the league at defending kicks. We don't protect the catcher, don't attempt to block attackers' runs, and don't support the contest in any shape or form. Amateur hour.

I really dont understand how reddy got this rep as some amazing bomb catcher, every week I see him jump above everyone, catchit, then drop it cold.

He was good for us in 2009, 2010. I was disappointed when you guys signed him, but I'm glad we didn't keep him now.

Worrying signs from the 2nd half last week that this issue that plagued the Tigers last year is back in a big way

Pretty sure Lawrence, Nofo and Richards all muffed kicks which led to tries.

Appears they rely on Tedesco in many ways this year, and if you take him out they have major issues both sides of the ball.

 

[DanOz]

Nofo is normally safe, Teddy is safe, not sure about Richards

Yep usualy all are..

 

[BrotherJim05]

Teddy Nofo and Richards are excellent under the high ball. Don't know what the fuss is about

Nothing wrong with these three. They are actually very good.

They were the worst team in the comp last year under high kicks.

The two games against the Sharks from last year in particular come immediately to mind.

I thought they had improved until last week.

Do you have Stats on Teddy and Nofo last year?

 

[BuffaloRules]

Do you have Stats on Teddy and Nofo last year?

No. Just relying on my memory.

 

[DanOz]

Maybe my 1 eyed view of the game clouds my memory because I thought they were safe

Keep in mind, that the ground at Wellington has some very serious wind everytime a game is played there. It wreaks havoc with goal kicking too. Union goalkickers tend to drive the ball low to avoid the wind affecting its trajectory and line.

Even Darryl Halligan commented on it during the game.
