95% of wilton's knock ons are when the ball is thrown to him 0.005second before hitting the line. If he catches 50% of them he's an immortal imo. They are almost impossible.
Exactly, gets thrown some shocking balls.
Nikora gets the same service. Don't see him dropping them every single game.
How was Nikora going 1.5 years ago?

Nikora gets crash balls from Hynes and Brailey

The difference with Teig (beyond just not being as good as Nikora) is that he is also getting balls from Wade Graham..... a bloke whose kicking and passing license should be provisional at best

Mind you Hynes has thrown some bad passes as well

Needs to stay in the 17 when Rudolf is back on board

Dale or Wade can make way - I dont care who (actually Dale can make way when Cam back)

Tommy offers more than both those players other than minutes which in time we can increase. His defense isn't even half bad

Every week Tommy seems to make a line break of a barn storming charge up the guts and also seems to get close to going over the try line too

Outside of making tackles (and apparently leadership) Wade and Dale aren't doing a whole lot for the team with the ball

We can keep Wade in the 17 if we forgo that bench utility spot though because I hate that bench utility spot - it's fning useless for us

Did you see the team list today, Gards? Hazelton has already been dropped for McInnes...

Feel for him. I agree with you - the rest of the middles should be looking over their shoulders.

Agree with everything except that he needs to stay in the 17.
He's still young and could use a few spells from first grade for now. I think it'll be good for his longevity and don't think it'll hamper his development - he's very likely going to be the same style of player in 10 years time

How anyone can blame Tieg for some of those drops is beyond me. You're right, some terrible passes.
It sure is a high risk, high rewards style play. Teig running a suicide line with Moylan deeper into the line than The Cheese on a night out with Cam Munster.

But as people has rightly called out, when it doesn't work we don't have much of a plan B. It feels like it's working less these days, especially against the better sides.

nikora doesnt get the same service at all

nikora gets crisp service from hynes, wilton is getting hospital ball after hospital ball by moylan
talking the crash balls from Brailey. Both Nikora and Wilton receive. Nikora catches most of them, Wilton drops all of them.

Had my Broncos fan nephew over on Saturday night. I even had him yelling “Go The Nut” at the TV by the end of the night.
