Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 3484715, member: 8187"] 1st Half Rewatching now: It was Townsend and Drinkwater who copped Ezra high around 12min. They need to work on their technique. Staggs flattened Holmes early, but was clearly worried about Reynolds as he was often a target for Holmes and Hess. Criticisms about Staggs' attacking failures would be equally levelled at Riki, and the ball is not really getting to them in prime circumstance. Any runs down their side aimed at Reynolds has Staggs/Riki either first contact or a close second. Working it out, I think Billy can't pass left to right very well and often ignores Staggs. Paix got it to him. Cotter's "strip" was poor ball control and Billy is a master of attacking the ball in a tackle. The ball carrier needs to have some responsibility there. If the 9 commentary wasn't bad enough there was a gaggle of sheilas gabbling in the background a lot of the time. Also, they still suck at saying Marty Taupau. It's possibly worse now than it was. Just listen to him say it himself and replicate it, don't emphasise it and then make some patronising comparison about western names being misspelled or whatever. 🤦‍♂️ The second short drop-out was a question of millimetres, could have gone past the plane. I'm also sad to be losing Flegler and Herbie. They both had some great touches. Herbie I'll miss most of all. Reynolds probably should have worked at repeat sets a bit earlier, but we were 8 points down for quite a while. Hiku's crusher was pretty scary to watch. Poor GOates. Herbie's disallowed try was a fine thing. I'm not sure Reece actually had the ball in his hands until he was the other side of Oates. He is so fast and slick. Was a hard call to make regardless, a matter of 1 frame. Plays like this are what the NRL should be about. It's deception and tactics and training. I'm looking forward to this season with Walsh. I like this little pest. He was stirring Hiku from the get go. He hits the ball so hard and fast and isn't afraid to go hard into the line. He got absolutely clobbered by Feldt on the Ezra try. Why so much Cotton-Eye Joe?? [/QUOTE]
