I know he's the golden child but I still think he has issues with his defensive attitude.
Let's take last night's game as an example, obviously the biggest game he has every played in so he should have been fired up to the max.
First half, Brett Morris makes a line break, swerves around Inglis, and who is chasing from behind to help bring him down? Jonathan Thurston, great hustle play, plenty of heart, that's what wins games.
Second half, Inglis makes a break, Josh Morris comes from behind Hayne, runs all the way across the field and amazingly brings him down from behind to deny a try. Amazing play, great hustle.
Now in the second half, Thurston makes a break down Jennings side (breaks Pearce's tackle) and that leads to a Maroons try. If you watch the replay of that break, Thurston goes through and Tate puts the pedal down in support. Brett Morris turns and sprints back to the point where he helps the cover defense as they don't focus as much on Thurston as Morris is gonna run him down. What does Jennings do when the break is made? He turns and jogs, essentially taking himself out of the play and showing no hustle for his team or his state.
I've noticed this in the past with Jennings, he doesn't show any desire to chase back in defense.
I thought that play was pretty disappointing
