Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2743708, member: 2221"] Oh look, Kahu fumbled a ball after a shit bounce... let's bring our "Reed is better than Kahu" agenda out! :laugh: Anyway, back to the game, I think what we missed most, was Macca's composure. Our halves can't direct a **** in a brothel without him! The amount of bad decisions when we needed to apply pressure, was far too high, and this is not the first time we've seen it happen. In fact, we don't seem to be able to do better against the really good opponents, and only sheer individual brilliance saves our hide. Of course, Macca and Blair's ruck work was also dearly missed today, and it broke our defensive structure, especially our right side, which saw Gillett often come to aid the middle defense at the cost of our right side solidity, and the Sharks were smart enough to take advantage of it. With Wallace, and especially Offa in the team, we were able to shore the middle up, which meant our second rowers didn't need to come in as much, resulting in a much more solid display. Waddell can get a second shot, but he was as bad as most feared unfortunately. I'll accept the lack of routine and players standing too shallow excuse once, but not again. I hope we draw plenty of lessons from today's first half, but still, plenty of credit and merit in the way we fought back in the second half. We had Gallen and consorts on the ropes and shitting their pants, but couldn't manage to bring it home. Please Wayne, stop being stubborn and give Kahu the Goal Kicker gig! [/QUOTE]
