Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3106049, member: 2290"] I agree that 9s don’t mean much of anything. While it definitely isn’t time to hit the panic stations, there are some causes for concern that don’t seem to be a explained by the different format. for one, Croft’s kicking game seemed quite ineffective and there were some poorly weighted kicks.Turpin and Paix both displayed a crisper short kicking game. He also seemed to be less effective at organising and creating attacking chances than Dearden (who was quite good). Though admittedly this one may be due to inexperience playing 9s. He defended well though and looks a good tackler. Isaako’s ball playing looked ugly. He would probably reel it in a bit during actual games but it’s definitely not his strong point. Fifita looked a bit undercooked, lacked effort and urgency at times. hopefully all of this is just due to pre-season rust and will be improved by round 1. [/QUOTE]
