Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2749512, member: 8440"] No, no, no. I think you've got the wrong impression. I am not laying any blame on the young guys. I'm just stating the obvious. It was always going to be a tough ask coming up against an inspired, almost desperate Tiger's outfit, who realistically were playing for their season, when you remove 6 key players, all in key positions, 5 of whom largely contribute to our go forward. Lets be honest, with those 6 players, we win that match. That's not blaming the young guys for the loss, that's just stating the obvious. Whichever way you put it, we lacked go forward, which happens to be the job of the forward pack. It widely known, that for the spine, and more particularly the halves to function, they need to be playing on the front foot. We were barely out of our own half, and were often camped inside our 40m mark. As for Su'a, don't you think he deserved a break, with the amount of defence he had to do? He was out on his feet from the opening 20 minutes. He didn't stop trying, but some fresher legs or someone less fatigued, even for a short period of time, may of helped. I was very impressed with the young guys, in particular Su'a and TPJ. They were one of our best last night. As for your other concerns of not bringing the players into the game, well that was my questioning of Bennett's tactics and gameplan... [/QUOTE]
