I thought Wellens was horrendous last night and seeing those stats, wow. I don't think I've seen many individual performances as bad as that. He won't play as bad as that ever again. 9 metres made, 2 errors, 6 missed tackles?! Shocking, absolutely shocking.

Hohaia isn't that far off either, another shocker of a performance.

Last night just confirms that we're pretty much done this year. When put under any real pressure we have folded and all those issues in earlier season games agaianst Catalans, Wire @ Magic weekend, Hull KR, Leeds in the cup & Good Friday have surfaced again.

Wello was really struggling to handle Westwood defensively.

Offensively he was being used as our left sided pivot, however his lack of pace meant Wire players just allowed him the inside line, knowing that if he took the gap they could cover across and tackle him. The end result was the left sided three quarters never got space to move in as they were always covered.

Yet again Roby 60 tackles - ridiculous . He's probably our biggest offensive threat but doing so much work is restricting him.
I'd like to see how many breaks Clark at Cas would make having made 60 tackles.
Whilst last nights tackle stats are above average for most due to the amount of defending we did - the workload needs to be shared more .

If it was a game earlier in the year I'd drop them and put the kids in. But we have to be fair, it was the backs who kept dropping ball after ball.

The forwards can't do anything but tackle if the backs are dropping all the balls.

It's no point saying look at the meters made, look at the number of carries very few and far between and that's because our forwards spent most of their time and energy defending only for the backs and Mose to drop the ball when we had the chance.

Exactly. Mose dropped the ball twice. So why just focus on the backs? Makinson dropped it twice and McDonnell once. Swift didn't drop it at all. Given that McDonnell was playing with a broken jaw, so must have been in lots of pain, I'd excuse him one dropped ball.

Did Brown mention Wello's missed tackles (the highest number of misses in the team)? Or the cheap shots our forwards put on? Or the useless metres our forwards made? Nope. Just criticised the 'back three' who made a total of three errors between them.

They've never been dealt with in spite of all the pseudo public hand wringing.

Re: Wire game stats : Fri Sep 05, 2014 5:20 pm  

I blamed all the backs from 1-7 + Mose.

Every single back dropped the ball. Apart from maybe Jones who managed to give a head high shot on the floor.

We are going to burn him out

When did Swift drop the ball?

Re: Wire game stats : Fri Sep 05, 2014 7:10 pm  

He didn't. The exception that proves the rule.

Typical that the guy who was dropped for defensive frailties is the only back who made no errors.

To be honest I thought he did, but looks like I must have just imagined it from the stats
