Our backline is just pedestrian. We don’t have the threat out wide so Dogs have compressed as one of the commentators said. We desperately need to recruit or promote some speed.
I agree it takes time to recover but I assume they are flying business class which does give you a reasonable opportunity to sleep on the flight and that does make a difference.
Val, Gutho and hopefully Atko excepted the rest of the backs are KOE grade.
Suli is one who should be better in attack at least if he could only find a step to put some doubt in the defenders minds. Hard as he runs he just gets lined up and hit by a couple tacklers every time. Was it one try...
Wing options are really poor. Pity you can mix Sloan’s speed with Tui’s bulk. Tui is a big no from me for Vegas.
Apart from Kade who was amazing, I thought Sele and Ryan Couchman were the pick of the rest.
I was impressed with Rokko Walker. That is really the first time I’ve seen him play for any length of time. I know there were a couple of wayward passes but he’s got a good step, speed, passing game and it seems he can tackle. Halangahu and Riley Brown also stood out for me.
It is a challenge when you don’t recognize the players. I print out the team sheet but if BarTV is going to commentate on every match that is way better. Looking forward to watching as much as I can today!
BarTV is pretty amazing with the amount of content they have. Matches were live as you listed and replays are also available I see as long as you have a subscription.
