We don't have anyone that's particularly good at contesting them is the general reason. I don't know why other clubs seem to produce these 6 foot 5 bulldozers that can leap 5m in the air and plant the ball on a dime upside down and we don't.
I only partially agree. KPP and Frizell could be targets at least. Get in there and make a contest no matter what. Or force a mistake from pressure. All we do is give the opposition the ball, then usually concede a penalty from how quickly we lose the ruck.

This is ordinary stuff. No urgency or attention to detail in the second half. Again. If we don’t get into gear we will be run down.

We aim for the no-frills, no-talent, no-potential recruitment options. Except Dom who realised he didn’t match the expectations.
