Think Armstrong deserves another chance at redemption. He had a shocker though. I remember Dylan Edwards had the yips a few years ago. Was absolutely stinking under any high balls. Armstrong did enough the last few weeks, and some support running got him some tries. But his size is a concern, he finds grounds pretty well though and in broken play does well. On the flip side that performance was poor. With the contract rumours around, I think we probably give him another game or 2 to give us a better idea. Not following, but sharpe is probably 2 games back from injury now? Might need a hit out or 2 more before he’s ready to give it a crack.
Hastings is an organiser, but not much else. He’s always yelling orders and getting players in position. For what? He lacks creativity and his kicks have been bang average at best. Cogger was made look good in the system of Penrith, but not much creativity either. If there’s not creativity they need to be methodical and able to nail a plan. They don’t seem capable of this at the moment.
I’m starting to think it is a tactic not to challenge kicks. There’s been a few times, the kicks go up, our players get there and they wait for the player to catch, then they tackle for minimal gain. 80% of the time the kick or the chase is poor and we aren’t within 20 metres of the catcher anyway.
