Hmm.... where have I heard something like this before.

“I really enjoy this role, it's like one half of my career was hooker and now this is another half and, if I'm honest, I feel like this is more suited to me,” McInnes told NRL.com.

“I feel like I've been a lock playing hooker my whole career really.

with this burgo do you also blame the fullback for not getting the a defender tighter to the ruck? or is it from the markers not getting into position?

I'm not "blaming" McInnes. Just pointing to the quirk of the way stats are recorded. Stat recorder says "ineffective" here, but eye test says this is a defensive miss, because he wasn't able to recover in time to stop the fullback having to get involved. McInnes had a great game despite this one blemish.

Fullback, marker and A defender (Hunt) are all guilty here, though I guess it's possible Kennedy told Hunt to move and he didn't.

McInnes was slow, Hunt* was too wide and slow, I even thought a little more hustle from Kaufusi would have been a good chance of stopping it. Just needs to stay with Katoa another couple steps to make the pass tricky.

*as you said hard to say if Kennedy directed him to tighten or not, he should also have been able to figure that one out himself

This is where we see the grey are in the definition of a “miss” . First try goes as “ineffective” because he ends up grabbing him by the shorts, but it was a big defensive error that lead to a try against.
Be careful, @CrazyMatt will come after you for criticising his 3 2 1

Pretty sure Cam also gave away a repeat set in the ruck that led to that try - so much for slowing the ptb down aye... beyond that missed tackle though he was quite good. I'm really liking his involvement
