Exactly this.

i know the above are mainly talking about high kicks, but our kick return has also been very poor this season.
Hall was particular bad at getting back to a kick, picking it up and then running with it. probably cost us at least 10m each time. This has not been that evident in the last few games as most of the time the opposition didn't get to kicks.....

our kick return with fox, cockayne and mathers was one of the best in the league.

Johnstone and Crowther are two of the few positives so far this season.

Our defending kicks looks much worse than anyone else's because it is all one way traffic. Other teams chase a kick and compete for it when it comes down, we do not. Why? I have no idea, it's on the last tackle there is nothing to lose and everything to gain from putting the catcher under pressure as teams demonstrate to us every week!

No Avenger,he didn't drop any,like you say he got out jumped by a winger who is stronger and you could see the disappointment on Tom face after and yes he got drawn in side due to lazy defence in the middle.I will always defend Tom,Max and Jordan ,having seen them play many a time and the potential they have shown during their scholarship games together and I am sure all 3 will be a massive asset to Wakey in the future.
