Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3298348, member: 1992"] [USER=1947]@Caniffe[/USER] No idea why you put the second screenshot up. The try wasn't scored until two plays later NOT as you claimed, that this play is the one before the try. The third screenshot shows Croft putting pressure on the kicker on the fifth tackle. Rather than passively sit back and wait for a forward or big centre to run and score straight over the top of him( for which fans would scream, why didn't Croft go forward, no point waiting) Croft ran hard to shutdown/ harass the kicker. It was the fifth after all. It was a perfectly weighted kick but nonetheless we should have covered it. Oates, Glenn, Haas and Nui all could have stopped it but unfortunately couldn't. I think it's ridiculous to single out Croft trying to get to the kicker on the fifth, as all players are trained to do, for blame in the try. In this instance, it was a case of the kick being too good. There really wasn't anyone to blame for this one. Mind you. Nui only had to dive on the ball so his was the poorest effort. I think most posters on here just want to be right and rely on memory rather than go back and carefully watch a replay. You can all pat yourselves on the back, reassuring each other that Huge got it wrong and the gang knows better but it won't make it so. [/QUOTE]
