Message: [QUOTE="xratedrattice, post: 2577432, member: 8467"] we really seem to have trouble against teams that love to throw it around,, not having an organising half is really affecting barbas game negatively. his hands were poor last night but we are not giving him early enough ball,, same goes for hodges a couple of times he was calling for it one on one with his defender and hunt was unable to throw a long early ball to him. if hunt is only capable of setting up tries on the short side then we NEED a five eigth that is able to throw long bullet passes to the open side. i dont want to see hodges and barba ignored so hunt and hoffman can constantly throw dummy's just because every now and then it comes off. nikorima showed in the 9's he is capable of throwing these passes so give him a shot and get hoffy out of there. we have plenty of penetration in the middle at the moment to be able to get around them if we can get it to our wingers and fast but play breaks down so often when we try to spread it, i am not blaming hunt for this i believe he had an alright game but he just needs a natural halves partner to take some pressure off on a positive note mccullough was again outstanding his speed up the middle is really helping us get up the field with ease, vidot once again making tons of metres and almost saved that first try, i thought most our forward pack were pretty good after the initial onslaught from parra, we just didnt take our opportunities when they were there. just a few lazy attempts crept into our game tonight also, especcially the radradra try when we had them going backwards on fifth tackle we needed to push up. reed was again pretty shit but i feel he will probably keep his centre spot all year and we will be pissed off about it after every game because griffin avoids change at all costs until its to late. which probably means we will be stuck with hoffman in the halves all year also. for what its worth this would be my team 1 barba 2 hoffman 3 copley 4 hodges 5 vidot 6 nikorima 7 hunt 8 kennedy ( needs to start ) 9 macca 10 parker 11 glenn ( suffering from shit service ) 12 thaiday 13 gillett ( actually loving him at lock) 14 mcguire ( more explosive then kennedy from the bench ) 15 hannant ( needs to step up soon ) 16 lowrie ( made some jolting tackles last night, better game from him ) 17 oates / hala [/QUOTE]
