Pardon me ?????

Crikey MM, no one was putting sole blame on Black. It was just a bit strange how Black didn't even attempt to run it in.

Didn't he ?

Ok what I meant was, he didn't take advantages of his chances when they came to him. He's usually trying to constantly cut through the line.

you came onto this thread in a very noticable way. its not just me that is thinks that Black wasnt looking for the gaps tonight like he usually is.

we clearly have different views and we are never going to agree so lets just agree to dissagree and leave it at that

Playing behind avery very poor pack dosnt help him one little bit. We were weak in the pack last season and for me we are even weaker this season. Some of them players should be performing a lot better than they are.

Players like Gene and Aizue are bad buys.Branighan and Black took their tries well but overall fev where much better.Fax where lucky to get a bonus point and as a neutral i though black was average last night.Not poor though.

the good fev defence did not leave many gaps at all though.

Aizue and Gene just havnt performed but they are not the only ones. Ostick for me is a waste of space as well, might as well just have a tckle bag out there. Playing the team with the best pack in the league you think our pack may have stood up to be counted but instead they got owned.

Surely though, much better for Black to attempt to break the line than try and pull off some of those suicide passes?



Wouldn't say that at all. He ran with immense power last night, and even created basically the only chance of that first half when he burst through their line. Granted his defense wasn't great last night, but he wasn't the only one.

NO !!

He runs with immense power every week. Unfortunatley he gets smashed nearly everytime he takes the ball in and gains very little yards doing it. Gives us no go forward whatsoever.
