Can someone please tell me why we even bother having halves in our side?
Our halves do not direct play, do not trouble defensive lines, do not have 5th tackle options, can't kick, cant put a player in a hole, cant play what is in front of them...they are basically passengers
Reynolds does things here and there but its not an 80 minute performance...he'd be better suited as an impact player to lift the tempo in the backend of each half
I sat there last night and it did my head in, we had sets there where the so called halves never touched the ball at all and even when the ball got out to the wingers or centres it went through the hands of 3 forwards to get there, how many times did Lichaa pass to Graham who then passed out to Tolman who then passed out to Klemmer?
And don't get me started on Tolman on the 4th we basically get 5 tackles not 6 like the opposition because every 4th tackle is wasted with Tolman hitting it up...its been our play for 4 years
but getting back to the topic....why do we have halves, what do they offer......should we just play 2 extra centres or second rowers?...........
