Mullen was there when he needed to be. He had some shit moments he'd like to forget, but f**k, to put any blame on him tonight is simply a knee-jerk reaction.
I really can't think of anything else except for two blokes: Gidley and Boyd. Houston gets a break this week for the fact we played well up the middle.
Fullbacks need to be catching it on the full, screaming it back and doing their best to start the set further up the field. What Boyd does is force us to start it on the 20 when he could easily advance it to the 30 or even 40 in some cases. He's letting them bounce and I really don't know why. He's putting pressure on the forwards to work that extra 10m. It might not sound much, but when you consider how often it happens, it adds up.
And Gidley has zero play making logic. Runs the ball when it's not needed (was unlucky twice tonight though), passes it to the wrong side of scrums and some of his service is just poor. Granted he starts well, but slowly he tries too hard and constantly does the wrong shit that puts us under pressure.
Overall though, like I said last week, we look flustered every time we look like we're about to go on an attacking spree. Gagai and BJ are getting the ball too close to the touch line, the defence is right up in our face time and time again.
We'll be fine eventually. We'll come through even though we look complete shit. It's hard being in this position because our game hasn't been woeful. I watch teams week in and week out play worse and get the points. Why? No f**king idea. We'll come good...eventually.
