Our wingers

I don't know why our wingers contest a bomb when it is not near our try line! I don't know how many times VAI goes up to defuse one and spills it. Wouldn't it be better to let the attacking team catch it and tackle them? Gee that bugs me!

  • Thats right.

  • Vais new nickname is "revolving door" because he will be in and out team in the future as he has been in the past. Another mistake free game last weekend congrats. We can afford no mistakes come semis time get him out ASAP.
  • I've always thought that myself - you only catch them when it's back on your line.
  • Wingers should always go for the ball. Otherwise they start thinking and that never ends  well.

  • I don't agree Bernie, it's called vision and wingers these days need it! Clearly as we've seen VAI doesn't!!
  • Yes semi had to it was only 5m out, but I'm talking about 10m or beyond we always seem to contest and usually drop it!
  • Wingers gotta way up the situation. Ball landing 10 metres plus out, sometimes leave it, at times you take it. However Vai should just be leaving that ball all day long.
  • agree 100% when the kick is away from our try line. Brett Morris did it perfectly against the Titans today. He feigned to jump for the ball, let the attacker catch it and immediately wrapped up him and the ball, got the turn over. Going in high and hard for bombs is geniune 1980's thinking. Cant afford to give repeat sets now as they so often result in tries.

  • Attacking teams are getting better at knocking the ball down for their support players.

  • Hindy you are spot on. If the ball is landing 10m away from the try line, don't contest the kick. Hold your defensive line. It's a much, much safer option.
