I'll say this Nofoaluma was terrible in defence today..
The bigger issue was the number of times he was isolated for kicks...no other team leave there winger to take a bomb and stand around and watch.....the whole right hand side was disgraceful pretty much all game...
Yeah it was a contributing factor - the entire right side failed to communicate and work as a unit today so plenty of blame also has to fall onto Benji, Lucy and BJ who were all off their game. They treated it like a training run.
On the other side too Brooks gets bagged for his kicking game ..well at least he puts them where they are effectively chased..Today the knights probably only started 1 or 2 sets inside the 20..the rest were closer to the 40m line..
I’ll pay that ...
Benji was waaaaaaaaaay to flat when kicking on the last !
Benji was horrible today, he missed 8 tackles last week, was glossed over due to his try assists.
His defence again was poor, let in 2 tries, but failed to deliver in attack today, passes to no one, and poor kicks.
This is the problem, he is 35 and not going to change or I mprove, we shouldn’t have re-signed him last year.
The wank fest in the media does my head in, you don’t want your play maker to be 9 out of 10 one week and 3 the next, but that is Benji.
I would drop him and put Walters and Grub in the halves, but Madge won’t drop Benji like he does Jennings or Grub, and that is my biggest gripe with Madge.
Not everyone is held to the same standard with Madge, why I don’t know, and until this happens days like today will keep happening
I don’t think Madge is the messiah everyone raves about ..
Reynolds would be my first picked each week...
Benji has never been a great player ... great players can do both ..
(Attack and defend)
Today’s game was a Sheens special ?
Punt Nofo !
Reynolds first picked?
He runs around like a headless chook and buggers up any attacking plays.
Lucky to grab some points today but totally kills the team.
