Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 2936111, member: 9424"] He was better again tonight, yes. But I can think of 2 occasions in the second half where he failed to attack a kick that was his as the player running toward it, not Isaako’s as the player running sideways, that put us under pressure. Add to that one midfield kick that was bouncing along for an eternity before he picked it up - had he attacked that rather than wait for it, we would have again been under less pressure. Finally, a grubber late in the game he allowed to bounce for far too long rather than attack it. We concede a goal line dropout. Now I could be guilty of being super critical, but those were all occasions where, in my opinion at least, attacking the kick would have been far better than hanging back. But take my opinion out of it, the fact is, he’s the fullback and that’s his job. When you consider he’s had a penchant for not attacking kicks at all this season, indeed even seemingly watching as the opposition pick it up and score in some instances, the criticism is somewhat valid. I think it really comes down to the fact he is the captain and he needs to lead from the front. He is getting better with his performance, urgency and effort, but he still has a long way to go to meet the expectations of a Broncos captain. [/QUOTE]
