Quote: DenisJ "But of course people don't want to see that. They only want to criticise. Tom runs really good lines and often, unnoticed by a lot of people, it is his runs that open the gaps for the tries.'"
I've not read anywhere he was injured, nor did he appear to be "strapped up".
Look at Elima, and Paea, they had more strapping than a mummy.
Tom may run good lines, but so did Worrincy (in fact I thought he was an excellent line runner) but I think we're really clutching at straws if that's the only attributes we can think of. It's a contact sport.
I'm not a fan who criticises players every mistake they make. However I was genuinely livid as a fan watching his performance on Sunday. The stats showed it was a very very poor performance.
It's not his first bad performance, he had a similar defensive shocker against Leeds at home abd hudds at MM. Needs to cut them out.
