[QUOTE="Peat, post: 531297, member: 42330"] I have no problem with a fly-half standing deep with the intention of looking more for territory when his team's on the rack - it's a good decision - but wouldn't quibble with the idea he might have taken it too far. But there we go - as noted, the whole team kinda feel apart there. He was still very good with his kicking and defence, took Tekori head-on a few times with little bother. 13 tackles, none missed. I think some people (not neccesarily here, it's more a remark on things I've seen being said everywhere) are forgetting that we've got a new coach and are trying to adapt our play - more offloading, quicker ball. It's not always going to work, we're still getting used to it and it's a risky style of play anyway. Also, we were rather short on the big guns to suck people in - although we possibly could have made better use of Trimble in this regard. I'd have rather a smoother performance, but I'm not particularly bothered at this stage that it isn't. edit: Just seen Matty's post - of course McComish didn't look quite at home, he's our, what... 7th choice back-row? Only so deep the quality can go. Plus he didn't expect to be playing at first. He did however make 11 tackles, missed none, and played an important part in the turnover for Marshall's first try - it was better than having Anderson there! [/QUOTE]
