![]() SA Game 2 we looked shit hot out wider because of a noticable increase in our starting depth. If you gave Ioane, Jordan, Clarke and even Jordie just a little more depth and a little more time, they are going to give defences kittens. And i think our entire formation fucking sucks. I don't think the personnel are as good as the coaches seem to. We don't know how to bring our outside backs in to play. We are wedded to not only being flat, but very wide, meaning our wings are stationed on the touchline. The problem with Rieko isn't that he can't do all the things you talk about, it's that he gets the ball and defender at the same because because of our braindead flat & wide formation.Īt Ellis Park our backline looked shit hot despite RM and DH having erratic games because we stood deeper and gave players like Rieko a chance to run the is right when he says it doesn't actually matter who we pick if we continue with that dumb flat formation on said in All Black backline:Īs far as i can see (and this is qualified by the fact i'm definitely a forward guy) our backline looks like poos because I don't think you realise how much he's developed at 13, he's been leading the way in try assists for the Blues (and probably SR but I'm too lazy to look it up) The bolded bit - Clarke's try was created by Rieko holding 2 defenders and putting Jordie through the gap. The basic problem is not the player, it's that we'll never see him at his best in this disfunctional team pattern: we don't use his pace or give him space, so all we are left with is poor defensive communication and a couple of turnovers per game. He's also got big weaknesses in defence and just general error rate. He's got massive strengths, and the upside of all that pace is very tempting if he can continue to improve the other aspects. We aren't blessed with a whole lot of options right now, but it is still a contrast from Goodhue or even Tupaea or Nankivell. His passing isn't all that accurate, and when quick hands are called for, he often doesn't have them. He runs his outsides out of space looking for the outside break. His first thought is evading the tackle himself rather than holding the space and putting someone into it. Unlike all these others though he actually earnt the said in All Black backline: The Elias is short for said in All Black said in All Black said in All Black backline: I couldn't tell you.mainly because i cant remember the last time he players for the AB's.starting to wonder if he's just a mythĮlias Jack Goodhue. Wing.ĭoesn't really matter how much better Goodhue is anyway though, because he's forever injured. He's a great runner ball in hand, sensational in fact. And on attack he blows tries by ignoring support, runs his outsides out of space, and has slow hands. He's also one of the too many players we have who contribute multiple turnovers to the opposition every game. He's an excellent tackler, and his speed gets him out of trouble a lot, but he's a big contributor to our poor defensive system. Said in All Black said in All Black said in All Black backline:įor all the talk of Goodhue being too slow, how many times has he actually been skinned on the outside? Ioane on the other hand contributes to loads of defensive misalignments and miscommunications, and that costs territory and tries regularly.
