Passive D

not sure trainor has kicked it to the grass? straight to a defender every time

[taniwharugby]

that end pretty much sums our game up.

Plenty of endeavour, just lacking any accuracy.

Stuff to like from that, but ultimately, we have seen this movie before and dont like the ending.

IMO, there are several of the starters need a rocket and be benched, i know the comms were prasiing Nock, but he only had about 10 mons where he was decent, rest he is a handbrake with his indecision

[kev]

We threw to many passes. Too many poor options. For me Nock and Latu were the issue. We need more guys that attack the ball at ruck time. Way too passive at that phase.

[taniwharugby]

@kev I like so much of what Evans brings but thought he overplayed the kicking game a bit today.

Yeah Latu wasnt great, not sure he, or Apoua are in danger of being dropped though, similarly Nock.

How's Hoskins Sotutu been going in the NPC?

Disinterested.

@taniwharugby true re overuse of kicking. Also, Murray probably had his worst game. But they both are quality.

I like the threat of Latu on attack, but we just can’t afford players that choose bad options. He is a repeat offender. Nock needs to run the cutter better. Harris is doing a great job when he comes on.

[Duluth]

@sparky he’s been injured for a few weeks. Returned via the bench today

[taniwharugby]

@kev ha I thought Murray was starting to look good, making some nice inroads, looking for work. It's a shame he didn't hold that intercept, probably the winning of the game at that point.

I'm impressed with the improvement in Reihanas defence this year.

[Duluth]

Murray made 6 tackles but missed 5
