Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3369179, member: 9052"] I also thought Connor Watson was pretty bad at hooker tonight. Can recall a set of six when roosters were inside the rabbits 10-20m and he got three quick ptb's in the one set, but completely bottled all three. - First one is on the right post and he dumps off to Crichton at first receiver instead of going out the back... the rabbits middle and 4th defender got sucked into Crichton's run well early and the backline had massive room to move, but he takes the wrong option... Crichton is a 2nd rower playing middle because Robbo is pissed at him, but he dumps it off with 3-4 defenders lining him up - Second time round is after Tupouniua is put into a half gap and gets a quick ptb... this isn't so much on Watson, but it's wide and he throws a long ball to JWH who stalls the whole movement and they get a nothing slow ptb off the back. JWH was likely running a decoy given Victor was on the field, but instead he's throws it behind JWH who stalls everything . If he's not wanting to go to Victor (or can't get to him because JWH is in the way) then he can at worst utilise the quick ptb to run along the line and see if one of the defenders over commits or he can straighten up at the end and go to his backline - He then gets a third opportunity and again took the worst option. I can't quite recall, but feel like he just dumped it off to a middle who had 3-4 defenders on him, when going out the back was the better and obvious option. I thought tonight it showed that Connor is every bit the 6/1 that was turned utility, turned 9, turned lock, turned utility, turned 9 again. Robinson most likely wants to utilise Connor as that mobile utility through the middle with a little bit of backup hooker when needed, but the lack of hooking depth for them could be a concern for the next little bit until Verrils returns... I guess it's lucky the sombrero can fit BSmith under it next year [/QUOTE]
