Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 3109392, member: 9424"] Some initial takeaways. Positives: - Bird looked good at the back. Sniffing around the middle, supporting the forwards. Something we haven’t had since Hodges had his stint at the back. He also looked pretty well organised and engaged in the play when we were defending. - Croft looked sharp and switched on and will get better in a new environment with time. - Ofahengaue looks like he might finally be living up to his potential. - Fifita is still a very damaging ball runner, just need to use him better. - Carrigan was great in play but also showed why he is earmarked as a future leader. Negatives: - Isaako looks lost and mostly useless and ineffective in attack and defence at fullback, and was awful on the wing last year. Not sure he really has a place in the team anymore. - Lots of people harping on about people scapegoating Boyd, but honestly, what does he bring that any one of our other outside backs couldn’t? - Per above; I can’t understand why Arthars was brought on at right wing when he looked good at left centre last week. At least give him a chance to prove he’s better than Boyd. - Staggs has been well short of the player he was last year. Switzerland: - TPJ - Oates - Milford - Haas - The overall use of the bench and quite a few players playing out of position. Why trial them in positions they’re probably not going to play? I’m sure there are other things, but that’s all I can think of now. Oh, seemingly no injuries is another positive. [/QUOTE]
