Tackling with Lyne has never been an issue but I’ve always had reservations on his defensive positioning/sliding across. More so since he’s put on some muscle and lost that athleticism from his early years.
Lyne is still a good player but his main strength these days is when he drives forward direct and close to the line using his strength. He’s a good meter gainer (when facing the right direction).
Over and above all I just want to see a thoroughly committed, determined and professional effort from the team for the full 80. Hard defence and smart attack, they’ve trained hard by all accounts. This is what it’s all for - 80 minutes a week. It would be so good to get up there in the table and come out strongly.
To make it clear though I will 100% back every player who takes to the field tomorrow. I’m excited and can’t wait. New season and new hope.
