How long do we give him to iron out these rookie errors? He drops the ball at least twice a game and that`s not even in the tackle. It really has hurt us in certain games this season. If he could iron them out we would have a good prop forward on our hands.

Why can't we just celelbrate the 2 points instead of knocking another one of our players! The other week it was pauli for giving penalties away but now he's turning his game around, every player has faults.

Doesn't stand out as a regular dropper to me
Hospital passes - sometimes, in the act of offload - sometimes, who doesn't ?
Not very often taking it in.
I'd say he doesn't play his weight in the tackle busts department but he's a dependable grafter, I like him in the squad.
Not a dropper = not a thread, you must be bored.

Okay. Apologies for bringing something up that is directly related to WT on a WT forum and that was quite relevant to the game itself, some of you lot really do live in wonderland. We got a win tonight which is great, I was there and I supported the boys (Which is probably more than a lot of you) as I have done all season and am as pleased as anyone.

Just thought I would bring the point up as again tonight he dropped the ball without any pressure on a couple of occasions like he has done in every game he plays. As I said he is a good player and improving but just wondering why he is still making simple errors?

Even in victory, can we not look at where we need to improve? I hope CC focuses on these areas and not just "Cant we just enjoy the win" like you lot.

In all fairness, he does drop the ball a few times a game with zero pressure on him, cringe when he is next in line for the pass. As the op says, needs to iron this out but outside of that has improved very well since been here and hopefully will continue to do so!

He dropped the ball 3 times against us at home, just from passes from dummy half, was gutted when he was taken from he field

Congrats on the win tonight! Is this season back on track for you guys?

Homme Vaste - you’re 100% correct and CheshireCat/Vastman you baffle me with the drivel you put.

Regardless of the result CC will be looking at the good things and the bad. A professional athlete who’s job is to catch a ball and drive it through needs to be evaluated when he can’t do half of his job.
