On reflection I really don’t think sending somebody home and promoting from the bench will make us anymore creative.
If we had of dropped a goal late on last night and won the game would we be more confident of doing it again in a big semi/final later in the season? A bit happier short term maybe but more confident next time? I’m not so sure. Assuming we stay in the top 4, which we should, we only really need to nail that final play/drop goal once possibly when it really matters.
Has anybody at the club thought of a foil for Roberts in a drop goal situation? Every man and his dog knows it’s going to him! Like Wigan did a couple of weeks ago, giving the ball to Woods as we all ran at Tomkins. Or is everybody else at the club useless at them? Practice then for later in the season.
I also hope everybody is not expecting Austin to start taking the lead for us from day 1 next year. From what I’ve seen of him he looks ok. More of a runner than an organiser, suspect defence like most halves, a 6 not a 7. Just don’t see all our problems being solved straight away with him and Brown/Patton.
Tyrone Roberts may repeat his drop goal attempts from last night next week v Leeds or in a semi-final/Grand final and he will rightly be blasted but somebody else needs to step up and give us another option. Or Roberts could nail it next week. It would be about time! Time will tell.
