He is a 'chaos creator'...but creating chaos on the backline isn't always productive.
A good game last week and he started well today with a couple of strong marks but it went downhill pretty quickly.
Not that he had much chance with the way the ball was coming in but he played well off his man again so he virtually gave himself no chance.
With Casboult out today was a day we could have used him in that second ruck position and brought Weitering in to play his role.
Fair point on Jones...Gawn was smashing us anyway in the ruck, Jones big athletic frame in the middle would have been more useful in the old fashioned follower role.....
The defense was horrendous as a group......Thomas was tagged and we lacked a bit of leadership with Rowe out of sorts too...
