Stating the obvious !! : Sun Feb 04, 2018 9:26 am
Well at least Rick understood what he saw ‘train wreck’ summed it up perfectly for me.The interesting one was that he wasn’t expecting much from Jake Mamo which seems strange after all the statements about him been the X factor in our team and us wanting a good start this year in all the press pre season. Didn’t stop him after the last injury I seem to remember.
We aren’t going to see his best for a month?? Beggars belief, if the same applies to Symonds if he ever plays and Cudjoe we won’t be up to speed/our best until game 8/10 which is a tad worrying to say the least.
I always sorta got the slow and gradual improvement bit, but after a season and a half you would expect sound basic defensive structures even with four major players missing.
Ironically Lawrence was having his best day for a while before he got injured and if he’s out for a while we need a 2nd row who can defend and organise the right out wide because Hull worked out it as weak and exploited it to take the game away from us at a rate.
We need the 25 minutes that we played well in the first half to be the norm as another capitulation this week would not be good at all.
The jury’s out for me I really hope that we turn up on Thursday it would be nice to see the improvement Rick has promised not his oft touted ‘train wreck’
