Weitering is the big liability. He is not up to 'holding' a KPF. His body language is dreadful, some say 'laconic', I say defeatist and timid. Certainly slow off the mark and reactive. Needs to attack the ball as his body work is non-existent. He let the ball slip 'out the back' of the pack, which is as cardinal sin, the Tigers always convert these opportunities.
You'd think after 3 years Weits would be throwing his considerable size around spitting a few packs open and charging out of defence. Nah...Not this bloke. Doesn't look hungry enough. I would move him up forward again, as he seems an OK mark....play Paddy Kerr at full back.
And I wonder why we never came out on the ground during the warm up, just to get a feel for the greasy conditions. Do we ever train at night with a slippery yellow ball ? It didn't seem like we had with the fumbling and bumbling efforts last night.
As for Murphy, I don't think it set the right tone pre-match with the whole 'Love-in' for his milestone. For God sake they were playing Crowded House on the PA, hardly going to psych the players up for battle !
And the relevance of Whitnall presenting the match ball...what was that in aid of ? We need to move on from our disastrous recent history , not glorify blokes who had to attend fat farms.
Focus on the here and now,...we have players that can write a new chapter and put us back in the finals picture.
