Why did no players assist or comfort Murphy or Jones when they were badly injured? Nobody went near them...Weitering was the only who went up to Jones (whilst Pittman got the giggles in the centre).
Why is Cripps the only player prepared to step up physically to an opponent who rag dolls one of our own?
When we fumble and lose possession, instead of laying a tackle to try to get the ball back we seem more concerned about running back to form our defensive grid or set up. This might be "the team thing", but it allows the opponent to continue with no pressure on him. Fisher, O'Brien, Walsh & SPS all did this yesterday...
Why do we repeatedly kick along the wings, back into huge congestion, instead of maintaining possession & switching play? Which version is our actual game plan under pressure?
Answer.....Every man for himself, usually happens when the ship is sinking and the crew are in panic mode.
I'd have Kerr in if I want some attitude...Kreuzer isnt going to front Mummy and Casboult gets ragdolled by blokes half his size.
Stocker has figured out you have stick up for yourself as there isnt any cavalry coming....
