Whiting's kick chasing late in the game was superb, and it was no surprise that he came up with the ball from the short kick off at the end.

Meli was a handful all night wasnt he.

Defensively in the first half we looked suspect all over the park.

Agreed Meli seemed very up for it tonight, wanted a confrontation it appeared with anyone who tackled him (that's when we managed to of course)

More specifically, he fell down the stairs last night!

No shoite, really?

whiting had a shocker??

Burnett would have been a better option on the bench, Whiting was poor tonight by his usual standards.

We made him look a damn sight better than he is last night. All he had to do was stay on his wing and wait for the ball. It's no secret we're weak on the fringes. Would hope at least outside back is on next season's shopping list.

here we go again win a game then start slagging players off !!!!! cant we just enjoy our win for a change.

Could have had any back in the world there last night and Melli would have still scored this compressed defence thing isn't working it seems to get a lot worse as well when tickle moves sides when willie goes off

Too right..

Whiting is a very skilful player, best utility player in SL

I don't think it is, yet Hall get's the finger of blame pointed directly at him when in similar circumstances. Hardly seems fair imo.

When there is an overlap against him he has no chance.
It's all the times when there is no overlap and Hall still gets it wrong that rightfully draws him criticism. Look at Welham's try in this years derby at NCP as a prime example. As I said if Hall could eradicate his defensive misreads he would be a quality player with a big future.

When i first saw Hall on the bench i thought it was a waste however after finding out Mcshane had dropped out and with the players available it was a reasonable option to have him on the bench in case of injuries.
So no criticism of Agar on this one for me. (Yes you did read that righticon_smile.gif)

I disagree. Burnett would have offered little options off the bench for the backs and if the forwards had big problems Washy/Whiting/Turner could have feasibly moved up into the second row/loose forward position.
