Hutchison's pace is a genuine concern because watching him play his vision ain't bad he just gets caught by defenders
We have a 7 who runs too much and a 6 who doesn't.

Great effort from the guys. Frustrating we didnt get the victory they deserved but hopefully CC can see this will be the result every week unless he gives Taafe/Sexton a start to see if they can run the team. Hutch is def not the answer.

Hutchinson really needs to be replaced, doesnt give us anything in attack, nothing either in defence, thought the big moments were burton kicking that ball, didnt kick deep enough, really shitty play that, burton bar that pass was real average tonight. Kiraz getting put into touch, its a shame he has no pace, but at 14-10, to get put into touch tackle 3 on the 30 is so poor from us, no game management. Lastly, Turpin, i think its clear hes not a first grader, knock on first carry and that 1 on 1 miss tackle on hughes on their 40 resulted in him running 30 metres upfield and them scoring, a real awful tackle attempt. Im hurting right now as we deserved to win that, shoutout to Tracey, Xerri, Fox and Kiraz, even hughes without the bin, who i thought were outstanding.
I feel like Hutchinson's problem is that when we play hi-tempo in attack he is a little slow, but he is good at steadying the ship at the right times more often than not.

No way, Xerri an fox need to both be in the left after seeing tonight’s performance. And Xerri is a left I side specialist!!! Be stupid to move him from where he is most comfortable and forming a great combo with Fox, don’t break up a strong force !!!!
Pretty sure Xerri played right from the time he debuted for Shark. Critta is better on the left and means we have one true speedster on both sides, with JAC left and Xerri right.

P.S: I was worried about JAC playing tonight after his rough start to the year. What do I know lol. Just goes to show you can’t take stuff on face value. Can’t believe how good Tracey was too with a supposed calf strain,

Its egos

too many egos on here have to push their rhetoric, thinking they know how to run a side better than professionals paid to do that job.
Mate I've got an opinion too, which some people don't like and that's fine.. but the attack is relentless and I believe based on shit that's happened in the past.. but if I have that opinion I'm a dick riding faggot.. apparently

We outplayed them all game, but we had some really bad end of set plays in that final 10 minutes that cost us. Goal kicking also let us down.
This exactly. Crichton putting in short ineffective kicks on the last happened way too many times, that is not his game but probably felt he needed to do it while ever Hutchison is in the team as he offers so little in attack.

Look at it this way, we didn't get flogged by any means.
He was playing in the forwards I think he did well considering he’s never played there

Hutchisons lack of kicking game is glaring, makes Burton an easy target

He did play right yes. But far suited to the left with us !! And why break a good thing, our left tonight was in fire.. very dangerous so leave it .

What does he do to steady the ship though? His kicks dont hit the ground, he made some bad reads in D, last tackle of the game he ran the ball, i was trying my best to give him a shot but its just not good enough

Burton is definitely coming along but the speed at which Hutch does things is killing us.. Tracey has to stay in the 1 and Taaffe into the halves for me
