Heigno's performance

I think there will be a few people who will agree to disagree with that call. If Heighno doesn't get in to do the dirty work, who does?

Its was taken care of when he was injured so someone must have been doing it.

Our go forward was not as good with Heigno and Galloway out. Sheens has said this and since they have been back the go forward has improved.

We'll agree to disagree on that one mate, imo no way Heighno has improved our go forward, quite the opposite. Galloway however is needed in a big way and should start next week.
 
I thought he was solid. Worked hard in defence and forced an error on 1 occassion. He deffinately got hammered on a few occassions and is always a specialty for running at markers or a scrum. Not sure what his trying when he does this.

I do not believe he made that many metres off the bench and Ellis played 80 mins and made less ???

C'moooooon !!!!

After watching the game, watching Heighno, those figures were surprising

I might watch tomorrow and try measure them myself.

That sounds about right. I thought I was going nuts for a second.

Ellis 138m at 19 hitups
Tuiaki 138m at 17 hitups
Skandalis 109m at 17 hitups
Ayshford 107m at 13 hitups
Collis 102m at 11 hitups
Gibbs 100m at 12 hitups

i was gonna say….... i missed most the first half but he did squat in the second half so he must of made 80 of those metres in the first 15 mins he was on.......

those stats seem more likely then the 112 metres stated earlier, but its not the metres or what ever its the fact that he doesnt punch the line and always seems to get dominated, and his love affair with running at the markers has to stop
 
Yeh 16 hit ups for 88 metres sounds about right.

People say he does the hard yards when no one else does, well imo a front rower should be doing that and thats where I think Payten and Gibbs need to stand up because if Heighno is averaging just 5.5 metres per run, then someone with either more leg speed, or more strength needs to get back there and take those hit ups instead so we get more yardage
 
If Dwyer gets another run that will do me.

You say Heighno offers nothing in attack which I can understand in part. Show me what Dwyer has done in attack. In fact show me what he has done of any note other than a good tackle on Thurston.

Dwyer hasn't showed anything. We'd be better served giving him a chance than having Heighno negatively impact our attack. IMO.
 
very very soft. i was disappointed in some of those hit-ups or walk-ups he did. in the 2nd half he was power-walking instead of running into the defence. he was soft on a few occasions n got smashed. payne also got smashed for walking th eball up. guys this is 1st grade, every time u think i can take it easy, u cop it. farah was too casual n copped it n lost the ball.
i like heighno coz he has had some blinders 4 us, but the past few weeks he has been nothing special. he needs to run hard onto the ball n get some leg drive instead of laying down as soon as he gets touched.
 
The thing I would be most worried about is that Heighno was dominated in three consecutive runs by little Ben Jones. Certainly his work ethic cannot be queried, but to be put on your backside by one of their smaller guys is worrying.
 
His defence is fine but he seems to have lost the ability to break the line as he did last year - there is no step or power as he hits the defnce - its as though he has been told to run a few settlers.

i think the tackles you were referring to was from Shackleton because i remember when he ran the ball for a span of 5 minutes, he was always pushed back. And i am pretty sure that was Shackleton. but there might have been another instance of this happening from Jones.
He does offer very little in terms of attack, but if fit, i don't think Sheens will leave him out.

What I saw was from Jones, defending at left centre. Commentators called it and too small to be Shackleton.
