Prince MIA

[gr8_1]

Firstly. let me say Im a big fan of Scott's.

But,

What happen to him on Saturday night ? He went missing when we needed him the most to step-up.

I thought he had been playing well the past month, but on Saturday he went missing. Kicking game was atrocious, passes didnt hit the mark, and his 5th tackle options were all wrong.

Normally you could say if your forwards arent going forward your halfback will suffer. But, I thought boof and skando provided a adequate platform for Prince. Halfbacks should touch the ball at least twice per set of 6. In some sets on Saturday he was not even handling the ball.

Maybe he was thinking of the 2nd SOO. I dunno.

I just hope in the future the real Scott Prince please stands up....

Gotta admit his kicking is ordinary at times, very very ordinary......funny though....he seemed to kick so well in origin.

Given the speed that Origin travels at Inssaneink, could it be that in the "normality" of first grade he has too much time to think about what he is going to do rather than doing it as he did in the Origin game?

he has gone missing all year.
his last 2 games since origin have been ordinary.

i said a month ago that when prince doesn't start a match well he just fades out of the game all too often.

hopefully kerr can pick up where he left off and show the consistency we need for the rest of the year.

I think it may be the opposite.....I watched him very closely in origin, he was put under no pressure whatsoever by NSW.....fo Wests, the opposition know whats coming and I think opposition coaches know pressure will severely affect him....more so than maybe other players.

I suppose thats true - he is the catalyst at the Tigers whereas in the Origin game he had others around him that the Blues had to worry about as well.
