Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2665154, member: 2221"] There is no doubt this kid is working hard to justify his place in the team, but it's the small details that keep betraying him. Today, he essentially cost us 12 points, 6 we didn't get in our favour by grounding the ball when standing outside play, 6 when he didn't jump for the ball and allowed Vatuvei to bat it back for Kata's try. I won't crucify him on the defensive lapse, as he has been quite good in that aspect, and that happens to everyone, but I can't say the same about his attacking blunder. People argue that there is no way he could have known Vatuvei was going to fail like that, and that wasn't an easy try to score, which is all true... but it still does not excuse him grounding the ball while standing outside the field of play! Whether he took an extra step to get back in play, let the other Bronco storming in claim the try, or even let a Warrior take the ball out of play, it would've been a better outcome. Now, all he did was give the Warriors a 20 mtr restart. :noidea: That is my biggest beef with Lachlan... his complete lack of awareness, composure and instinct when in position to score, is just the worst I've ever seen at this level.
