3pts - Fieldhouse - cracker of a game and 4 tries!
2pts - Barlow - great runs
1pt - Robinson - was struggling with this one, but between him and Manning - he ran great yards and to my memory did the most breaks from a tackle.

Same reasons for me

Re: MOM Swinton : Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:27 am  

3 Fieldhouse
2 Manning
1 Barlow

unfortunately the scoreline suggests the defence was poor (Bowman showed some others up with his efforts on the line)

3pts - Fieldhouse - Outstanding
2pts - Barlow - Strong running, strong defence and I really liked the fact he was trying to offload and keep play going.
1pt - Manning - Great running yesterday and numerous breaks.

Cant agree here Mate! I think the general idea is to support a player who everyone clearly knows has the ability to off load the ball almost at will. You cant critisize Barlow for being blessed with ball handling ability, its the other players who should be waiting on his shoulder IMO. Remember this lad is gonna get smashed everytime for being able to do this, its maybe Thaks, Penky, Handforth, Ryan etc who should be monitoring this.

Sam's a great player, and so glad he's on our team. Agree that the rest of the team could help by accepting that he's always going to look for the offload. It's the one's that are over his shoulder that make me cringe. Offloads create gaps, but equally they need to be under control. I wouldn't want Sam to change the way he plays, just be a little "safer" at times - we can't afford to give the ball away.
