Campese : Sun Oct 02, 2016 6:49 pm
Having let the dust settle and after watching the horror unfold a few times again today, unfortunately it has only confirmed my belief that Terry Campese is probably the biggest disappointment since Kerry Bousted. He has spent most of his time in the stands and when on the pitch,gone missing in the big games. Yesterday,we needed a leader we didn't get one to organise and direct players around the pitch. Apart from the 40/20 (which admittedly was one of the best I have seen in recent years)his kicking game and choice of kicks,particularly in the last 10 mins was shocking .He should have been kicking into touch to wind down the clock rather than going to the air. The set of six following the 40/20 was terrible with Bobby just giving up possession. They were in front of the posts for long enough why did Campese not kick a drop goal? They would have then needed 2 converted tries instead of 2 tries and 1 conversion not to mention taking more time off the clock. Poor leadership. When Salford kicked off at 18-14 there was 53 seconds on the clock. Why on earth weren't our players told to lay on in the tackle ,by the 'captain' even though they would have been penalised? Again this would have run down the clock before Salford got anywhere near our line. Hopefully, Campese will not see out his last year he is a massive drain on resources.
