[QUOTE="amz, post: 898350, member: 39697"] I've seen the match and Timisoara was disappointing to allow HRK to close the margin in last minutes. The positives: - team moved better than vs CSM Bucuresti two weeks ago, far far better without Seniloli at SH. Even young Rupanu coming from the bench did better than the Fijian international who is just a source of confusion. He does not communicate and when he makes a mistake he keep give hospital passes for minutes. Luiters as starter is trying to conduct the game, he's involved very well in organizing the attack, a true leader who likes to take responsability. The forwards were better compared with their last match, less penalties, scrum was dominant so the lineout. I need to see more of them but it seems that new Argentinean forwards coach have a new approach. - Popa is solid in defense, less in attack but he seem to direct the defense and act as a TDM. He tries visibly to vary his game as much as possible and his positioning tricks as 13 reminds me (keeping the proportions of course) of Conrad Smith. He tries to read the game, anticipate and think which is great, he show concern in being a tactical asset for the team and he's trying to have a tidy game, always looking for the open space to cover in defense or open space to exploit in attack. Solid in tackle, he needs more training to be an asset in attack. - Lemnaru had finally a brave approach. He used to be best Romanian winger, close to Fercu as value but a Achilles tendon injury put him on bench for more than an year and when he come back he looked reserved and hesitant in contact against good opposition. Today he was fearless and scored a spectacular try in a counter attack created by Conache. The way he scored show he seem to regain his courage and trust in himself, he virtually went trough German defender without any fuss. The negatives: - bench become a little thin after they loaned some players or released them of contract. Didn't helped their cause to have a hooker coming from the bench in backrow because of injuries or players released at U20 national team. - lack of focus in last minute and they gave away 10 easy points to HRK ; some players can't keep up with the rest of the team and I think they should look well at the actual U20 crop and try to sign 1-2 backrowers and 1 frontrow. Some players seem to be there only for fun, less for serious rugby and it is never good to underestimate the opponent. certainly the 4th place in Super Liga reflects the actual status of the team which is far from the form they showed last years. They need a head coach able to cope with the stars of the team and put them to work. [/QUOTE]
