7.6m per carry 86% tackle success not the greatest stats for a player who wants more game time. Really needs 90% plus tackle rate and 9-10m per carry

Walters was a positive he has an edge and something different to him. A nice turn or pace, some explosiveness, and an offload. If people want to just look at the stats then he made more metres than any of our other props and played fewer minutes.

Re: Sam Walters : Sat May 06, 2023 2:30 pm  

If he's going to cement a place in the 17 in the front row, then he needs to improve his defence and up the amount of carries he makes. All our props are currently 3rd or 4th props. We really need a proper leader in the front row. This is the role Mik should be doing, but it's clear he's still working his way back to full fitness.

Re: Sam Walters : Sat May 06, 2023 2:56 pm  

I think it's fair to say if you give Walters 10 mins extra he will make more carries than the likes of Lisone. He is making the same amount of carries as the other props or more and playing fewer minutes and coming off the bench. He deserves his place in the 17. As for the work rate in the pack, I think they all need to up the number of carries they are doing. Controlling the ball better will go along way to fixing that up.

If we’re coming out of our own end a lot because of the tactics then a lot of carries are going to go the way of the outside backs.

But agreed they could all up their work rate. Mik was an absolute beast last year and carried the pack, he’s clearly working back to form and fitness. Sangare has been impactful in limited minutes. The rest of them have ranged from inconsistent to poor for me.
