[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 885732, member: 73592"] I watched the Sarries Saints match yesterday afternoon, and he really stood out. We've known for a while that he has those moments where he just lacks bottle, and I'd seen enough this season to label him an actual coward (by the standards of a professional rugby player). There were just so many of those moments in that match that I actually started watching his performance specifically after the 2nd I mention here (there was a third too, but I couldn't remember what or when)... [B]13m 55s[/B] hides behind the post to leave 2 Saints to defend 4-5 Sarries as Mako scores. [B]16m 33s[/B] he literally steps back away from the pass to himself to avoid being hit. [B]27m 14s [/B]he actually "tries" to tackle Barritt, but terrible body position means he gives up about 3m (it's only that little as Pisi makes his tackles for him, Mallinder himself just gets bounced back) - Ford gets criticised for this sort of thing, Harry's got 8 inches and 3.5 stone less of excuse (I initially put 6" and 3st, and thought I was exaggerating, and checked). [B]33m 34s[/B] this one might be harsh, but he looks pretty good for a charge down, but sits back on his heels with his arms in the air as a pretence. [B]34m 31s [/B]doesn't want to be tackled by Farrell, so just gives him the ball instead. [/QUOTE]
