Team tonight on 12:41 - Jan 26 by unstableblue | I know, what was worse is I think he took the wind out of what little momentum we had with his kicks into touch, misplaced passes, turnover of possession, and brought pressure onto his team. He's the captain he needs to lead by example, and then fess up when he's underperformed. Yet on Saturday people rallied to his support, blaming McGuinnes and Toto for the loss. Which of course is fair, but doesn't excuse the captain. And also pointed to his post match interview, which was good, but he did not question his own display. |
He was rubbish, especially the first half - but if I had to choose I'd rather a player give the ball away badly 4 or 5 times than put a stupid tackle in and give away the most obvious penalty (again) or slice one into his own net. That's why Toto and McG got stick, because they made massive mistakes, and have done so on a consistent basis all season. The post match interview didn't question anyones display, and he wasn't asked it by the interviewer, I'm sure if they did he'd have said how poorly he played |  |
