Quote: Tarquin Fuego "my observations that may have been posted
1. Pivots to Centre’s isn’t working - that’s where your magic is and we have none
2. Fonua is so unfit and the whole back room staff need a bollocking for allowing this, along with the player himself. He’s 15kg over weight easily
3. Connor Wynne - watch the play from 50-53 mins, for a 20 year old how can you be absolutely flooked just 11 mins into a 2nd half. watch how he’s hanging on in D and is basically out of it and then at 53 mins he is still blowing at the ply the ball - i just couldn’t believe it
4. Connor is our 6 and the sooner BH realises this the better for when he’s back
5. Jamie Shaul can’t defend so we have both a hooker and full back issue for me as Connor isn’t anywhere near fast enough for FB. The try v England shows that
6. time for a new hooker
7. attack needs a new philosophy
anyways there’s my thoughts'"
Agree with just about everything you say but what makes you think Shaul can't defend? Have you not watched him make one on one tackles at FB? Why do you want a tackling based dummy half, isn't that what we pay our forwards to do when defending, to do the grunt work in defence? Just because Houghtin has been flogged to the point he's ineffective in attack (and diminishes his defence also) doesn't mean we should continue doing that.
