Quote: jools "I get where you are coming from- Do you know what- for me it’s irrelevant who’s picked.
Every week it’s the same, stand and wait in the defensive line after the opposition PTB. Thats just effort based. You can be the poorest skilled player in the world but you can still get off your line. And they just aren’t.
They play the game every week like it’s a training session- makes you wonder whether they just walk round on the training field. Because if that’s the best they can do it’s appalling.
Lost count of the times I’ve come away from a game talking about poor linespeed. It seems obvious to me- is it being picked up by the coaches? It must be- but Nothing changes.'"
You are spot on here. It is pedestrian and passive. We allow teams a run up and every week nothing changes. That line speed made Donaldson look like a world beater, Donaldson!! Next set Matagi makes a run into the line which is up in his face and he gets nowhere. That said even with a run up of 10 clear meters he would be stopped dead. A complete plodder, want him gone, Wilson for the rest of the season for me, Seb is better option also.
