Our massive problem areas
1. Hutchinson is not a half
2. Burton is not a half
3. Salmon is lucky to be in the 17 and he is not a better lock than Mann
4. We only look threatening when Curran is on
5. Sam Hughes is not getting enough time and our bench / rotations are suffering as a result.
6. CC dropping a fit and reliable Wilson for Fox was disgraceful given how fucking unfit Fox looked.
I could list more, but the effort is there, but the club is holding themselves back with some blind faith in some of our players.
Great post.
1. Taaffe deserves a shot at halfback.
2. Burton is probably lucky that he’s still our best half which says more about the others than it does about him at the moment.
3. Salmon is not a smart footballer, he looked good in the trials but in the pressure of a close game his brain shuts down, he completely screwed Kikau’s run for a try and I reckon Kikau would have gotten there even without the hole Salmon opened up with his stupid lazy play.
4. Curran is brilliant. 152m run and 29 tackles in 59 minutes today.
5. Hughes I really don’t get. Everyone went on about his amazing pre-season and he’s playing less than 20 minutes per game, 14 minutes today for 9 tackles and 35m run. What is the point?
6. Yep.
