Was thinking the same thing. It felt more like a game for a Talakai type. Though you wonder how we would have gone defensively with the speed of that game
I thought Staggs deserved his spot but Talakai may have been a better choice for a reserve. Crichton on the bench that could only cover centre was silly.
had a bad first run and struggled to get into game.
Had power to get on outside but not speed to do anything with it and **** he looked small on the origin stage.
I'd have picked him too so can't really complain.
I definitely wouldn't have picked Talakai for right centre.
Speaking of Talakai some people really think he played 1.5 good games and has been bad since. He has been bad since
compared to those games.
Run meters - averages first for centres
Runs - averages third for centres
Meters per run - averages 5th for centres
Runs 8m+ - averages 2nd for centres
Tackle breaks - averages 2nd for centres
1 pass hit ups - averages 1st for centres
Try assists - averages 2nd for centres
Line break assists - averages 1st for centres (Ramien is 2nd!)
I wouldn't have had him on the bench but he covers wing and fullback as well.
Agree Crichton covers way more... the Crichton/Wighton thing was odd but I guess was correct in the end. Wighton played really well and we ended up needing cover at centre...
