Yeah I'm certainly not complaining, both great at taking effective hitups. Just don't agree with the criticism by some of Talakai.
Yeah as Burg said, we are playing badly and losing the ruck.
The correction to that is not to move Talakai from centre because 'teams have figured him out' it is to not play like knobs and to actually get back to winning in the middle so he has some time and space.
Someone can argue moving him because they think he'd be more effective for team in the middle (or edge) if they want but it's certainly not him specifically losing us games at the moment from centre, or us doing well everywhere else and can't win because teams are shutting specifically just him down.
It starts in the middle for us at the moment.
We are 4-1 in games BHU has finished (4-2 he's played but him and Dale both went off injured and it was against Storm).
Games where at least one of BHU or Dale finishes the game healthy we are 5-1 games where neither plays or neither finishes game healthy we are 1-3 (and we only played one good half in the one we won).
Funnily enough we go better with our best middles on the park.
