[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 872228, member: 40658"] Hi George! Yes, this was a thread to express my dissatisfaction with our current flyhalf and his performance (amongst other things) not being up to standard. Please have a look at this video to see the contrary. And more specifically the kick on the 41:30 mark: [MEDIA=youtube]TXHgSfYjczk[/MEDIA] That penalty was on our own 5m line, and if he kicked it out we would have won a lineout, and most probably have kept the ball until the halftime whistle blew. Instead Folau runs it back, and we end up giving them 3 points... Can't disagree here. But those stats doesn't paint the whole picture in how Elton kicked. straight down Folau's throat, a kick in goal for a 22m drop out, deep kicks without any chasers, allowing a quick throw-in... It certainly was a below par performance. And again, if you read what I was saying in the match thread, his goal kicking was very good, but that wasn't the problem this time, it was his decision making. His lack of distribution, and the aimless kicks he made. That's your opinion, and I respect that. I guess I just put my Springbok fly halves in a higher regard. If I were to give him a point out of 10, it would have been a 3, maybe a 4. [/QUOTE]
