Quote: bobsmyuncle "Three tries conceded down our right hand side from sets on our 22. Two scored by a Centre and one by their winger.
All from the same move.
We were simply outnumbered 3 times.
FFS this is basic lack of covering'"
Right side has been a problem for a number of years now, back since the Tupou days and whoever was his centre, Sykes I believe. It really needs shoring up, can probably get by with Kear on the wing, but we really need a centre that knows how to defend out there. Move Langley back there and we'll be half way to sorting it out. Unforutunatley we are going to have to look to sign two centres this season, because Purtell, Blythe don't look all that up to it and Lulia is leaving. Some serious gaps to fill in for Franny, but I believe he can do it over time.
Agree with Eddie, Kearney isn't all that and hopefully this youngster can stake his claim over the net few seasons.
Edit, I didn't mean Langley to centre and I meant to add we need a good backrower out there that can marshall those outside him whilst defending. Elliot wasn't up to this, Langley would be.
