Good write up FA but I do take issue slightly on Platt. Thought his miss on Fox and the foot in touch were bad mistakes. As you say though Jeffries was poorer yet his performances are glossed over. I think that's often because his goofs are usually further up the field and aren't seen to lead directly to opposition scores. Our lack of cover at halfback means we'll have to persevere with him. As for Sheriffe he offered less than Halley on the wing and have so far struggled to see why we signed him.
Positives were that our forwards never seemed to run out of steam and looked much leaner than last year. This was in spite of losing Solomona and Langley which was very encouraging. In the backs Nero looked a different player but the rest got mostly got poor service and when they did get anything it was too direct with players attepting to run through defenders rather than creating gaps or trying anything more subtle.
As a result the negatives were the inability to convert all our pressure into points. Even allowing for HKR's Herculean efforts we should have been able to close the game out at 13-12. We need better organisation and crispness in the set plays.
