I’m case you haven’t noticed you need a strong SQUAD. To cope with injuries- no one is saying he WILL be playing every game- but to bag him for me is wrong. And Matagi hasn’t even arrived let alone proven his worth and you are putting him as a first choice!
Some people want all the forwards to be busting tackles and making breaks each time they take the ball in and the backs to score full length or acrobatic tries every five minutes- and yes that’s exciting -so of course it’s what we as supporters want to see but they don’t recognise how defending well, getting a quick ptb, being discliplined, kicking well, keeping shape, making good choices, are just as likely to win games and lay a platform for the exciting stuff to happen.
Bruno also does two other things well, he rarely misses a tackle and has an excellent discipline record- rarely gives away stupid penalties- how many times have we conceded a try this season after Seb or leeming has given away a penalty?
