@Nepia watched the first half, and Rieko always gets the ball and the tackler. The same can be said for most of our backline passing. We are obsessed with tight pop passing to cut through the line. It's rarely pretty or effective. One guy who consistently seems to run nice lines and gets space is Will Jordan
It especially looks ugly in tough NH conditions.
To be fair, playing in zero degrees doesn't sound great

And WTF?"22. David Havili (Lienert-Brown, 62min): A couple of decent touches, and very handy tackle on Ioane. 6"

Sounds like Razors innovative ‘tackle a teammate’ initiative

He is reliable… you can count on him for a yellow card in the 70th minute just about every game.

He is reliable. Can bank on him getting a yellow

Agree… by this time of year they should be finishing each others’ sentences

Playing far too flat. We hold the ball far too long at 10 instead of shifting it into the MF so they can work. Where have I heard that before?

Need more from him than just Reliable.

"At the end of the day...it's a game of two halves..."
Not that difficult -
Arguably our loosies are improving, the tight forwards are solid, but the assistant coaches for the backs are being quite subtle in their value add.
