Message: [QUOTE="NSW stables, post: 3306834, member: 10150"] Even the fox commentators, including voss who has been pretty bias against Brisbane lately , couldn't believe that that try was awarded. It was after that call that i think some players dropped their heads a little and the knights posted a couple more on us. Tesi not unlike isaako at fullback does some good things and is athletic but has quite a limited footy IQ or sense of urgency in defence. The knights last try, tesi could see that riki got stuck in the previous ruck and we were short on the blind. When ponga and co started attacking there, he should have put his foot down to get there to cover, but he was jogging and only started to run once the knights winger had the ball with free space to the tryline. Would he have stopped the try? Probably not, but he was a chance had he identified the issue and been more urgent in his response. The players in your spine really need to have a good footy IQ. On footy IQ, it is good to finally have a half (gamble) with some. You could see how he has dramatically improved our right side defence and this game shut down ponga most of the night. I am also enjoying his chips behind the line to our outside backs when he notices their fullback out of position. Glenn on the other hand has quite a low footy IQ, especially for an experienced player. He is often the reason our left side constantly looks short (oates did a fantastic job preventing tries down that side). Him, croft and herbie can look in shambles at times. Glenn's poor reads, defending close to his middle forwards and over chasing infield from marker leaves large gaps where he should be defending. On several occasions he got caught at marker in the middle of the field and had they gone that way, we were in trouble. [/QUOTE]
