Quote: vikings 4 ever "Can't condone anyone for shouting things at players after that match - but I don't agree that Duffy had a good game. I mean all that possesion in the 2nd half and between Duffy, Thackeray and Webster, not one of them created anything. We got close to their line and thought we could just do inside balls to forwards to try to barge over - which failed time after time after time - although I have not seen Cullen's aftermatch comments, I believe he said we were predictable - and its not hard to see why. Only Gaskell's try actually came from a pass, with the other 2 tries coming from kicks.
IMO we didn't go to Webster enough in the 2nd half, with us continually going to Thackeray, who just doesn't seem to have the passing skills to open up defences. I think Thacks is a very dangerous runner and if you give him space he'll score tries for fun, but IMO 5 yards out and you're looking for the killer pass, Thackeray was the wrong man to go to. For whatever reason, there just didn't seem to be the same link up between the play makers and the 3/4's that we saw against Toulouse.'"
Ok I agree here, what I meant to say was that he wasn't to blame for us getting the defeat tonight.
We shown nothing of what we did to Toulouse last week, 5 drives and a kick wasn't getting us anywhere. How many sets of six went begging where it was a pass from dummy half and a drive? wheres the passing out wide from last week? There was no flair whatsoever, not a patch on some of the plays we have seen so far this year.
Hopefully Cullen will pick up on this and we can pick up again for next week.
