What you've said is definitely true, I just think where you start your set is the most determining thing for how your set pans out. Because the defense can compress and get more numbers in the tackle to out wrestle the ball carrier to their back.... mind you our guys don't do it any way 😅
I stopped watching after penriths seconds try, I knew as soon as I saw us with shit 5th tackle kick meters that we weren't a chance. We gave them good field position to start their sets. We were in the arm wrestle until the roll ball shit so that just multiplies the chances off loosing
Ultimately comes down to the coach, Marshall needs to identify and adapt better to the flow of the game and get the message out there through the trainers.
I think api should hold accountability aswell but he might be instructed by Marshall to stick to the game plan until he gets word from coach

To my eyes he stood up in the second half, maybe abit to much which lead to the penalties. I don't think the penalties decided that game, I think the soft try at half time was the moment that should be considered.
I did see that he looked frantic but to be honest he was trying to create for...
Re Laui's 2nd half: Take out the 2 penalties against him, he was still the teams main spark in attack
Defended like a trooper. 2 outstanding defensive plays locking down cleary as soon as he gets the ball before the panthers go on an a shift
He did make an error when we were attacking their...
Doueihi can't be considered a first grade center, need to upgrade that position next year.
Charlie Murray no good, where was kit?
Had Bula as man of the match closely followed by luai.
We should have won that game, weren't far off!!
