I just rewatched the game with a focus on our halves.
For the most part Lewis kicked long, bombed high in good positions and got early ball out to Wakeham, Elliot, Britt and Hoppa. It was infact our centres and wingers that failed to finish off half opportunities in space. Hoppa and Smith killed off plenty of plays in space. And Smith failed to find Meaney in room on a handful of occasions. Hoppa and Crichton clearly couldn't read each other and passes failed to connect, or in a few occasions were thrown too late by Hoppa whilst Crichton lurked behind in no mans land.
Wakeham got his hands on the ball in a few attacking positions but at times threw the wrong ball. Lewis did the same on multiple occasions, but actually for the most part did draw in his man and pass. Lewis remained composed and did not overplay his hand, he got early ball out despite receiving sub par ball out from dummy half.
In summary don't point the finger at Lewis for our lack of points, Wakeham would have massively struggled under increased responsibility, and our halves are surrounded by two of the worst centre and wing combinations in the league. We need some class on the edges ASAP
We should target something like:
1. Meaney (already signed for 2021)
2. Rapana
3. DWZ
4. Hoppa (already signed for 2021)
5. Addo-Carr
With Thompson in for Tolman and hopefully a new dummy half, we will be a force.
