Yes a bit harsh i admit, but meant in a friendly way, they do try, Frank seems to struggle as time knocks on, and the other feels the pressure to re-invent his game at such a late stage in his career. Penky is good at sniping from dummy half, not making last tackle kicks and power plays. The stats may or may not show this, thats an issue for Gonzalez and Calland but its plain to see for all.
I am no different in that i go to every game and we all see the same mistakes and patterns develop, they have been good uns for us, saying it doesn't come out easily.
I recently watched some of last years games on tv, seeing Holroyd barking at the line telling them where to go and be, and see energetic forwards like Flanagan, driving the ball in and making hits in defence was great, we looked sharper too, those 2 were class last year and have left big holes to fill.
