This is a very good point. Keep the ball in hand and what are the chances of scoring a try from your own 22? 1 in 100? 1 in 1000? Play the percentages rather than go for broke every time.kend wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 1:36 pm Whites's call (or who ever made the play call) to box kick in the final minutes was right IMHO. They are on their 22 with a LBP; playing out from there is a risk (turnover or penalty with a kick to the corner) of losing the LBP. Exit with a box kick and hope to force an error is the rational tactical call.
Either the HC is responsible for the rugby or he is not. If he is not, then what is he for?Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 1:53 pm Perhaps some people in here should take a deep breath & realise GM isn't on the actual pitch, far too often over the past few seasons its been the senior players letting us down.
Senior people get paid to take responsibility. Full stop.
You have a short memory. Think back 18 months and we had just finished 5th in the league with a weaker squad. A half shuffle sideways does not offset the many strides backwards (in comparison to the rest fo the league, which is all that matters).Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 1:53 pm Not that long ago the starts the past two weeks away from home would of led to a thrashing, so we are moving forward.
Still, Borthwick is an exciting prospect so we will just have to put all our eggs in his basket and hope he can make a good omelette. Or a nice frittata. We've got enough good eggs that a decent chef should be able to make something tasty.
