[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 925654, member: 13739"] It's not just injuries and departures, there's a number of key players who are playing well below their standards of the last 2 year's. McNicholl and Steff Evans are dangerous ball in hand, but both are flaky as hell atm, turning ball over at an alarming rate. Parkes is way below his best, as was Patchell yesterday. Gareth Davies started the season brightly, but he's been poor in the AI's and was shocking yesterday imo, amazed he was on the pitch for so long with his wayward passing and box kicking, and very little of his sniping game and support running which usually compensates for his deficiencies. JD2 was even shown up defensively, not often that happens! They're also making an alarming number of mistakes and giving away endless needless penalties. Never going to win like that. I'm not too concerned about Pivac and Stephen Jones abilities yet, I don't think there's much they can do when players are making poor decisions and passes are going to ground. But they do need to turn it around and really target finishing on a high in the Pro 14. [/QUOTE]
