Sorry, i have been quick to fault Craig in the past abut today he certainly wasnt useless. He made our first try down the left wing, to pass to Yeamo who dinked it to Brisc

But i agree he was too casual in bringing the ball back sometimes, like when he got tackled in goal

For the majority of our last matches there have been players who have simply been too lazy and don't look interested in the game, and its NOT good enough

Thorman - Passes the ball when receives and makes poor kicking decisions

Berrigan - Although today he seemed to switch on in the last 25mins and really up his game, aside from a few scoots from dummy half he simply collects the ball and passes to the first receiver. He is a top class player who has not been using his skill enough

Manu/Radford - Taking the ball stood still! Far too many times! Run onto the ball, create speed and momentum! its not brain surgery!

Hall - Collecting the ball in the in goal area and curving his runs/jogs out, then being dragged into touch. RUN STRAIGHT MAN! I think his runs from full back collecting the kicks are improving, but still his runs often look laboured and lazy


These problems arn't anything to do with the players' skill. We know these players have the skill, its just them using it! and when it comes to the last 15/20mins, like last week, we seem to choose to up our game and create chances.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!

Good post, couldn't agree more. I would also throw into the 'lazy pot', chasing down kicks on the last tackle. Shaun Briscoe wasn't pressured enough when collecting them, plain lazy.

yer yer,
getting carried away,
no problem with him in attack,
but it gets on my nerves when he does not try when he has the ball in hand.

yep, been said on other threads, kick and chase was basically non-existant for a lot of the match
