Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3178782, member: 1847"] This, our kicking game, will define tonight's game, whether we play it in their half, or they play in ours, so again, will we end up constantly on the back foot, tired from too much pressure, too much defending, and thus falling apart as in so many of our other games this year. As for Staggs at 5/8, I wonder if he has the footie "intellect" to create opportunities as opposed to his undoubted instincts to take them when offered as he does so well in attack as centre. Comparisons with Wighton are good as far as they go - strong and powerful running, especially at the line, but what about his ability to read the play and then create something with a good passing game. So far, there is little to go on here so for me, that will be really interesting, to see how he works the edges as much as taking on the line ... and then doing something with the ball rather than just being tackled. Same for his kicking game, which looks good as far as clever short kicks go. Aside from Staggs and spoon bending, I find this game has a lot to interest us - Riki on the edge running off Dearden, Haas with support runners (?), Coates leaping high to score off kicks to his wing, and of course, Darius! Darius playing a blinder, hunting behind the ruck, linking with the halves, slicing through the line with speed and swerve. Farewell Darius. Leave us with something to remember you by other than a bitter taste. Can't wait. [/QUOTE]
