Quote: kirtonLindseyWolf "I was looking at Chris Hill after they scored the try in the second half when the team were gathered behind the sticks. He should have been stood in the middle of the group firing rockets. Instead I saw nothing, no leadership, nothing.'"
I didn't really want to get involved in this team bashing situation that seems to be going on through out this forum, I think we certainly need some time and I have every confidence that Price will ensure we fulfill the potential. BUT !I think this point needs raising, certainly last year and definitely last night the club captaincy is not doing Chris Hill any favors.
He will always give maximum effort but has zero influence on the ref, he just doesn't have the level of influence required to game manage a referee.( he is too nice!) On several occasions last night he needed to be involved in helping Thaler make different decisions but couldn't do it, if fact he went the other way and then got penalised himself! oh and wasn't Thaler poor! emphasised by his shocking decision 5 mins to go when he pulled us back on the clean break after wiping their six clean, they lost the ball then gave us the scrum!
We need a captain who can help the team by influencing the officials!
