BHU Stats and What They Tell me

[DJDL]

10 tackles and 3 misses in such a short time is a worry. 1 hit up sounds lazy too, I know we hardly had the ball but come on, he couldn't get himself into a position to try and get us out of trouble or get a good roll on? That's what props are for.

You missed this part of my reply to Special K above
We had the ball twice while he was on.
He took a hitup the first time we had it.
The second time we spilled it on the 3rd coming out of our own end (Jack).

Harsh to call him lazy there.

But agreed the defensive stats are a concern.
He also got pinged for "ruck infringement" in the second tackle he made.
I though the call was harsh, but he got done none the less.

He also got pinged for a late tackle on Jazz Tevaga.
The one where we should have received a penalty for obstruction, but the ref ruled the other way.

While this thread wasn't intended to highlight BHU's shortcomings, a 15 minute stint for 3 missed tackles and 2 penalties doesn't make for pretty reading.

My bad mate, I did miss the part where we only had the ball twice.
I can understand his lack of involvement with ball in hand, but the defence is definitely a problem.

That’s the problem, he wasn’t fit enough to stay on the field long enough for us to get more of a share of the ball.

Even at his best he has always been lazy. Loves a big hit up and tackle highlight reel but off the ball is terrible.
He is one of the main reasons why we have all been very critical of our middles the past 3 years.

Ale would make a better front rower.

That is the problem, he had to do work in defence, and was exhausted when we had the ball.
He should be able to play 35-40 minutes per game

Looking at this week’s bench, Fitzy agrees.

After the rubbish BHU has given during every finals game I'm surprised they re- signed

chronic knee by the sounds. no training. plays 15 minutes 1 week, then out of team next. doesnt play for jets. Love to know whats going on as he is our number 1 big guy.

If he has a chronic knee injury we should be cutting him and keeping Hunt.

It blows my mind that young blokes in the prime of their lives who train every single day for a living are totally f**ked after 12 minutes. To the point where they can't catch their breathe quickly and recover at all.

We kept the wrong bloke.

I agree with most of this. I think the issue has been niggling injuries/sickness not allowing him to get a roll on. BHU can turn it around and if he is fully fit I take him over Hunt every day of the week.

Toby seems to have got his fitness back. Fingers f**king crossed for BHU but the fact he isn't in the 17 this week tells me it is time to pack it and try again next year.

It's been worse though. Won't get better till the stork visits
