So his strengths are being moved for Jake Arthur???
He also caught one of the Titans halves chasing back after a break.
He runs like a baby giraffe.
It isn’t “speed” pace that’s his issue. It’s “timing” pace. He isn’t in motion in attack, which isn’t our style of attack (at least not when our attack is at its best).
It was an accident but he has a responsibility to make sure he doesn’t hit the player with his knees in that situation. Very surprised it wasn’t charged by MRC tbh
The main thing is being able to replace an injured edge defender (the widest three on either side) during a game. That's all that is required to stop your defence falling apart. Losing a key attacker isn't such an issue because you can just get other stars more involved. Obviously having no injuries is best of all, but you need to minimise disruption to your defence because it's your defence that the opposition can target. If you lose an attacker they can't really exploit that.
Yep, lack of malicious intent is no reason to avoid punishment. I can cop him avoiding suspension but it should've been an eight point try and a sin bin.
He's a good finisher. One bombed put down under pressure doesn't change that. Even at centre he is more of a finisher than a creator. As for his hit ups/kick returns he also uses his footwork.
Running and tackling. Winning one-on-one contests. He can do that just fine at centre where there is more room to move.
Isn’t it always an accident though? Why does that matter?
Our defence was shit all game, that first try we let in was as soft as Latrells guts. It didn’t magically get worse after we got that 26-12 lead. We took them lightly and once we got those two early tries we just thought it was going to be easy.
OK So you reckon that Bryce Cartwright would have been better in centres yesterday than Dylan ?
You are posting smoke screens. He was picked yesterday to cover for a injury in the backs and it ended up to be fortuitous.
I'm not sure it's a good sign to be in agreement with the majority of sports fans. These are the blinkered, emotional merkins who are notorious for thinking they know better than the people who get paid to do the job.
The rate at which we conceded points ramped up massively between the 34th and the 44th minute. The triggers were getting a lead of 13+ and then falling behind for the first time. The reason we didn't score is because the Titans started having a go when they saw we'd clocked off. They didn't quit just because we scored a couple of goals.
That's right. Jake Arthur's fault hey? The boys must've assumed he was going to carry the team ffs
Lol, so the teams attack was fine after Jakey came on?? 60% of the ball and we didn’t look like scoring. It’s not what Jake did on the field it’s what happened to the rest of the spine when the shift happened. It didn’t work, JA is not a utility and he’s barely ready for first grade. He should be first choice back up half and that’s it. If Moses and Brown are fit he should be learning his trade in reserve grade.
