Pre Game -Port v Blues R2 (Sat, March 30, 5.10pm)

[shawny]

Forget about how many touches he gets, Ed had 25 touches last week and did nothing with them apart from stuff them up.

Watch how many times he hurries the kicker, or takes them down altogether.
Watch how many times that hurried kicker end up kicking a ball that is intercepted by us.

Its the pressure he creates, both real and perceived that benefits the side, not his possessions.

Yep he applies pressure but do you also notice the amount of times he applies the pressure to his own teammates by butchering the ball when he rarely get it in his hands.

I want to climb the ladder, I’m sick of waiting in this rebuild we need to make a move this year and a player of the quality of Polson getting a game makes me really question how far off the pace we are....if he is all we have on the list to ‘apply pressure’ we are well and truly stuffed.
