Davies was nothing short of ordinary today, and probably shouldn't get another go at it all year with Scotland back next week. Having said that, Davies in the side allowed us to start Walker forward and keep Yarran up front for most of the game. Who else comes in to allow us that luxury? White and Duigan both too slow. Laidler was underdone as it is. O'Keeffe injured, etc. etc. I doubt we played him on merit.
In an ideal world, Simpson is no longer in our best 22. He's gone from being the best run and carry player in the competition to offering very little in that regard, and not quick enough or a good enough kick to get by on other tools. Again, very little else challenging his spot. Curnow, or when eligible to play, Dale. Whilst I think the latter is definitely long term replacement, not just yet.
Our centre bounce structures were ordinary again. You won't see a more dominant non-Sandilands ruck display all for naught as it was today.
Not sure where you go with Bootsma from here.
Had the same thought about Simmo today, really hasn't given us much in either game this year. Unlikely to be under threat as there are a few others to go first but he's struggling at the moment.
A disappointing loss but for me far from the wrist-slashing one a lot of others see it as.
I'd be quite interested in giving Hendo a month as a forward and replace him with Rowe down back. Missed Betts today, would have been handy to have him to chuck in the middle.
I hate that rule about hitting someone's legs with your head being a free against. I also hate the booing every time someone rushes a behind, ffs it's been part of the game for a hundred years, and is still a legitimate option for defenders. Was also unimpressed by the cheer squad banner saying "welcome m.m from club of scum to club no 1".
