If he was staying on the field there was nothing wrong with him. We saw that when he was offloading for tries and manhandling merkins on his tryline.
He played 80 minutes for f**k's sake.
He was clearly having major issues considering he could barely move his arm for approximately ten minutes. He was struggling majorly and nearly went off the field twice. I could see that without having to look up at either of the replay screens, and I was at the other end of the field.
We should have at least attempted to exploit his obvious frailty. It might have been temporary and there is every chance kicking to him would have been equally ineffective as it was to the wingers but any first grade player with a semblance of vision would have taken a merciless approach.
Not that I am saying I was hoping to exasperate his injury; I was one of very few fans, Souths or Eels, in the section that was genuinely concerned for him. That isn't even an exaggeration. But to not direct attention to the injury is a laughable indication of our failure to identify weaknesses in defensive structures.
