Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2809680, member: 1899"] You're right about that actually, I didn't see that Henry completely changed the formation and had Hayne-Taylor-Hurrell defending alongside one another in the front-line. Another dumb coaching decision, why would you 'hide' your injured player in the centres? It's one of the most difficult defensive positions in the game...that's poor stuff all-round. The problem is Hurrell kept putting himself in no-man's land. Halves getting on the outside of their opposite is hardly unique to Taylor, the difference is the outside defence knows how to assist. There were times where Hurrell put himself in no-man's land like the first Mitchell try. Look at it and try and tell me who he was trying to tackle. Taylor wasn't great, but to pin all the blame on him is incorrect, Hurrell had just as many positional and defensive issues as well...and at least Taylor was able to contain Cordner and even forced a mistake out of him. I can't say the same about Konrad. Also the assertion that he was to blame for those first half tries was wrong given one of them happened down the Titans left fringe and one right up the ruck. EDIT: I wish I knew how to post GIFs. Hurrell's effort at 23 minutes is nearly as funny as Keary's god awful grubber. [/QUOTE]
