Our forwards got dominated. A lot of the talk on here was how our forwards were going to maul manly, it didn't happen and doesn't really matter what happens from there if we have no go forward then the spine and backs are up against it from the get go.
Be hard to judge wakeham too harshly for this reason. But as good as naden and JAC seem to get along, they aren't a good combo on the field. JAC is going to get frustrated sooner or later, I think Burns went well on the wing but probably is a bitter fit at centre with JAC.
Shoupp is still a work in progress, especially defensively. He tends to crowd in without his winger. That try before half time we were so far infield, Burns saved us a few times. I've noticed Naden has missed a few one on ones, his defence is questionable.
I think pushing naden to wing makes sense, the more I see it the more I like it. Carries from kick returns would be strong. Maybe Allan into the centres when fit, at least he can pass.
