Did Tony Rea's public criticism have the desired effect? : Sat May 11, 2013 8:39 am
You have to say yes of course but the only problem is you can only use the tactic once. But we now know that the team can defend when they want to, so consistency is the key.It was noticeable to me that certain players had their best game of the season - Wheeldon was much better, Kaufusi put more in, Witt was very good but I thought it was significant Sarginson had a much improved game. We all know the talent he has, but I don't think he has been playing at the top of his confidence. His awful error at the end of the Catalans game cost us 2 points. Is the contract talk having an effect? We will find out more when the Pie Eaters come next week how he goes.
What about the Dixon try! Most wingers would have cut inside for fear of being taken into touch. He trusted his pace. Superb!
