Give Harry a go

[madbluboy]

The thing is that we didn’t have any other options;  Lobbe is injured, Flip has played half a game, Harry may have been an option but only if there was no-one else and De Koning, while named as an emergency, is a long way off.

I thought that Casboult and Jones both gave good contests in the ruck, and we won the clearances, so Witts’ dominance in hitouts didn’t really amount to much.

I’d prefer to see Harry honing his key forward craft in the NBs rather than being thrown to the wolves as an underweight, inexperienced ruckman.

Witts had 14 hit outs to advantage which is double what he had the week before.

The biggest problem we had with not playing another tall was we were too short in our forward line and Charlie Curnow had to do it all on his own.
