The Senior penalty for interference led to the set that ended with Jeffries romping past Bailey to score the opening try.

Don't let silly little facts like that fool you G.

The demise of Senior continues apparently.

He's this seasons whipping boy.

Do you think he's at his usual level performance wise?
From my own p.o.v i think he's way off and is looking his age especially in defence.
Tbf i wouldn't call him the "whipping boy" either especially with how the whole team have performed so far this year but because of his usual high standards he stands out more imo and fwiw i personally haven't just picked out Senior when discussing the teams efforts this year.
All about opinons fella and i'm more than happy that mine are balanced and fair!

Like I said yesterday I didn't see the whole match and only the last 20 minutes, but the only opinion I see from Gareth is a potent attacking force. Whether that is a fact or not as you quote I don't know.

What I don't see however is any argument from anyone against the postings that Seniors defence is poor. That is what I have read from the many postings about Senior this year. Rather than his attack, it's his defence that is the problem.

I don't see how Seniors attacking ability can be in anyway an argument against something that is talking about defence.

It's called 'balancing the books'

People are right to question his defence. I have no problem with that.

But I think it's worthy to note the good things he's doing. Which is in attack.

People are shooting him down for his defence - but they should look at the bigger picture and take into account everything he is doing or not doing.]

Those who are pulling him down for his defence and aren't offering many (or zero) kudos for his work in attack.

Whereas I can recognise BOTH the good and bad in his game. Mine, for that reason, is the superior POV of course.

If that would be the case there would be no point retaining his services IMO.
