ISP Team Announcement: Round 4

[Geo]

What was Price doi…never mind..

It is like the people I deal with at work Geo, they make you :brick:

I'm not so sure 851..the Eels scored 2 TRIeS down our right edge and 1 down our left in FG…i'm sure as time passes Nofoaluma's bad D will be responsible for that as well..

Carved up by who..lol

The imaginary flying winger from Wenty, Nofo was not carved up, did not let in a try, saved at least 2 tries, his centre caused that try, there are a couple of posters on here who are stuck in 2017, Nofo has improved his defence and is carving up in attack.

He let A try in with a very poor read.

Correct. Nofo looked to have made a misread that the pass was going to be a face-ball to the winger he was marking, and he rushed into the gap looking for an intercept. Had he rushed into the centre that the pass was intended for, he would have shut it down.

But had the pass been a cut out, he'd also have made a bad read.

So while it wasn't a shocker IMO, it did look like he took the soft option.

Nof wasn't carved up but he was certainly at fault for their lone try. For starters we were short on numbers but he wasn't communicating with the rest of the defence to slide across (at least not that could be seen/heard on tv).

Nof came flying out into no-mans land and got nothing. Not an intercept, not a tackle, thin air. If he plays it safe there's a good chance they still score with numbers, but he went for the 1/100 play - high risk high reward. Price had the inside man covered as needed.

Cleary doesn't want players to do this. Play it safe. Thats' one thing MWZ does, keep it simple and does his job. That's why Fonua hasn't replaced him even though he has more impact - he makes far too many errors still, mostly due to poor concentration/decision making.
