Semi French combo

Posted by Wile E. Coyote on March 13, 2017 at 6:44am

Semi and French seem like they are developing a special combinationSemi set up French a few times last year and always seemed really happy for French when he scored - was often the first to congratulate French and visa versa. Now French is setting up Semi for tries. Could be a prolific combination. Pity to see it end.Jennings Semi is also starting to look lethal. Jennings was not just passing to Semi but stepping towards his winger - instead of his standard step to the inside. The defence will have a hard time covering both ways.Just surprised haven't seen Taka Hoffman combo work yet. Was expecting big things.

Semi seems happiest when he's scoring and yesterday is the happiest I've seen him for a while. That inside pass from French to Semi was a beauty and hopefully the first of many.

There were years where Hayne was our only attacking option, then Hayne and Semi with Hayne still demanding the ball. Now there is Normy, Guth, Jenko, Semi, French and that's not even looking at the forwards or the right side who are capable of scoring too.

We won't win every game but it's a good start.

I do worry about how we will go once semi gets suspended but enjoying the ride now.

  Me too. I have a feeling there will be at least some suspension and given the allegations it will be significant

I agree, seems like BA and coaching staff have worked with Jennings in pre season with his movement and passing, he seems so confident in Semi.

I loved Jennings under the legs pass how good was that. All our tries were amazing last night they all ran great angles so good to see

That left edge wow, it's not just the attack but the defense is tight.
The right edge needs a bit of work Taka sometimes rushes up in defense and opens up a hole. In attack Takas not getting clean ball yet, the combo will improve as Guth learns

Bevan and Semi seem to have a good understanding.
If they played together for a while it could be an immortal combination
