Sorry I should have explained myself better. It was wet so we played tighter and simplified our game so much more than it already is. Allowed our talentless bunch to not try rise higher than their ceiling which creates more errors. If everyone single game going forward was in pouring rain id be confident we could avoid the spoon.
Rubbish, toomaga played 80 in a pre season trial in the middle of summer and did great..
Bought the opposition down to our level.
That is exactly what happened... We desperately need a tough hooker to lock up the middle and have JMK as the utility.
I thought thats what you meant with your first post. Less ball movement etc etc. My point was we stuck to a game plan. Didnt force errors. No need for Holland to throw that flick pass on half way when we finally get the ball to be in a position at the end of the set to have a crack at the try line with 12 to go.
no-one knows
What do you mean again thats the only bad game hes had at fullback!
Very lazy and little lateral movement......solid in attack and good post tackle metres.....relatively keen in attack, but in defence he does not have the same enthusiasm. Good post contact metres, but we also need some quick play the balls to keep the momentum and he is a little like Tolman and often kills that momentum. I quite honestly believe that the Doggies are the most unfit outfit in the competition.....towards then end of each stanza we are slowing down and not coming up in defence.....position teams no this and simple put us under increased pressure and we stress out........need a lot of work in the off-season.
I compared in terms of stamina alone. Playing 80 as a prop in the middle of summer (trial or not) dispelled the myth that he has no motor and can't last more than 20 minutes.
He needs to be moved back to right centre. Brian Kelly has been pretty underrated lately especially with his aggression, I'm not confident with Holland defending him.
Unfit and line speed in defence is a good indicator of that.
I thought Meaney scored a double. Might be wrong though.
Napa looks puffed after 3 minutes and tolman never looks puffed or tired , but gets dominated in both defence and attack, so not much point in having him fresh.
