    Yeah, I was thinking about his finger too. I hope he comes back strong after a good little rest.

  I've got a beef with Gower. Take a look at the first try that Slater scores and have a look at Gower's laziness in the middle. That's two consecutive weeks that Gower walking around the middle of the ruck has caused gaping holes that have resulted in key tries being conceded in the match. Personally, just one of those in a match and you're dropped.

    Because this side does not work on the inside defense if you go over all games they expect someone else to make the tackle while they have a breather on the inside, if the ball is switched back they get caught out this is the 1 per centers arthur is talking about that makes or breaks a game.

  Mate, that's not what I'm talking about. It's middle forwards simply walking when the play shifts rather than proactively moving to plug any holes that will open up if the play shifts back to where they were coming from. Compare Gower's effort to Slater's, who upon first passing the ball could have easily have just loitered around, instead he makes the second efforts to get himself back behind the line and then the third effort to put himself in play to run onto the ball. That's what wins you football games.

    He has been below the standards hr showcased last season. Our inside defence has been horrid all year.

  Agreed

    I mentioned this as something that concerned me. The lack of shifting occurred early in the game. There was no fatigue. It was a straight out switching off. The gap should never have been there!
