Is their a reason this bloke is never given the ball when we are near the oppositions try line???

Yes.

We can't get it out to him fast enough. The hand speed of our backs isn't quick enough to throw the ball across the pitch, we can throw one long pass, two if we're lucky before being clattered.

Thought the exact same, we gave it him once near there line and he scored. He takes some stopping running on to the ball so why do we not shift it to him more often

Like has been said we are not quick enough,Fax were much faster but then again they ars a better team ,remember those 2 drubbings they gave us,well at least we got a bonus point and i bet not many thought we would today.

We play far too often to the right. Even when we had scrums 20 metres from Fax's line and left touchline we still went right when even a slow left pass would have had Nanyn running over Penky to score.

Also we continued to go right instead of attacking the left centre/wing where for a good deal of the last 20 Penky was obviously struggling with a knock and he was defending that side.

heres a thought then, why not take our drives towards the middle
of the pitch, instead of further left, then we could get the ball to nanyn in 2 passes.
but then thats down to players thinking on the pitch

we dont have the hand speed, but why cant he come in the middle?? The amount of times we gave the ball to the person next to mick when we were 20m away from the try line was unbelievable.

..or Mick play on the right? Well theres an idea if we want to play to the right

Stanton comes in looking for the ball ,i know thats not always a good idea but sometimes its the only way he gets it .

There is a reason he hasnt made it further in the game than he has. Dont like to call it bottle because all players that step on the pitch have that. Just seems to go hiding a bit when the going gets tough.

Well we may as well have all the players in a queue system then. After struggling ALL season with that same problem why was it not addressed several weeks ago. Coaching problem in my (and many others) eyes.

i'm not sure that's the reason why he doesn't go up the middle, it's more than likely that he would be coming up against players equal in size and would thus be less effective. he is so good out wide because in general his opposition number is going to be smaller

It's mainly due to Mcgrath (spelling??) can't pass to save his life!! HEarts int right place and effort is there but jeeeesus he can't pass!
