Correct, especially forwards.
Bill Tupou was a classic, terrible to start with, but there are loads tbh. Unless you are a top NRL player at his peak and thus can't afford to fail, however they don't play in SL anymore.
I can buy into that in some positions and to be honest I’m not sure what people were expecting from Proctor. He had always been a grafter rather than a line breaking eye catcher. I think he is doing exactly what he has always done…all be it at a diminishing level due to his age. He’s never been a line ruining strike edge forward.
What I cannot accept though is using the settling in period as an excuse for the displays Atoni has so far put in. He’s been terrible. I understand there can be a settling in period but thus far his heart does not look in it. He does lie minutes and simply trundles it in.
If ever there was a lad that needed this game tonight it is Atoni as if he cannot get up for this match with the importance of it then I don’t know what we do with him.
