Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3132676, member: 1847"] I think this is less on Oates and more on Darius which has been discussed here, with arguments for and against Darius. For mine, as a FB his job is tell players he is playing there, organise the defence and realise the bleeding obvious about what happens out wide when you are a man down. Instead, he chooses to defend as a prop 10 metres out. I mean he is the most experienced player we have. FFS Anyway, my issues with Oates extend to his failure to finish the simple try he had handed to him on a plate. He sort of walked to the line instead of running hard like he used to, allowing him to be held up and not only that, having Isaako compound the dog's breakfast by giving away a penalty. We lost potentially 8 points when we rally needed them, and surrendered possession. I don't blame Isaako for that, he tried to make up for Oates's incompetence. It's almost as if Oates was paying Seibold back for him shifting back to the wing - such a dumb move anyway, after all the hoo ha about moving him to his prefered position in the back row. [/QUOTE]
