Stupid shit out of our control. Can't account for Fugly the 8th dwarf running out of control and taking our most important player out off the ball. Can't account for Gee wanting to be the star of the show. Our discipline problem is bleh, no game has been reffed like that forever and no game will again, it was an anomaly neither team could adjust for because it was dumb inconsistent calls. We could have had a real fullback out there, but that probably would have been Talagi and he'd have ended up at half anyway.
Defence was improved, pretty good, don't worry about the score, three of those tries come from kicks against a non fullback, and he had a decent shot at stopping at least one of the other tries. New players and players thrown in last minute during the week and in game on the run, it needs to develop but it went pretty good.
Talagi looked very promising. Great boot on him. He's small, he's going to get smashed and rag dolled, but he took his medicine well. He looked better than everyone around him in backline plays, he's right there bursting onto the pass exactly where he should be and a step ahead of where Luai's loping would have him, at least once his outside men weren't up to speed and too far behind him, another time the pass feeding him wasn't soon enough.
Cole is ok as a back up and organiser. I'd be trying to get him time in the 9 to make him a 14, his defence is strong and that's a good baseline to work from.
