Walsh is a warrior, but he needs to be fit to get the best from himself.Today Tom hit it down the throat of their mids a few times despite being in clear air. Needs to stay composed, comes with confidence I guess. Pitto will provide some much needed support for Tommy and hopefully some confidence.
Weitering needs time on the park to get some confidence back. He is not playing that well at the moment. he actually started the year a bit like this, and warmed into it. By the time we played Sydney, Weitering was at his best and dominated Franklin. That's what we need in the finals.
Young is the other one who has gone backwards lately. He isn't holding his marks at the moment and often two-hand punches where he was out-marking opponents earlier in the year. He needs to get that marking back.
One thing that was definitely in our favour was that McGovern was marking the ball pretty well. He'll get better at that as he gains more confidence .
Today was the a perfect opportunity to show how valuable Pittonet was earlier in the year. Tom de Koning struggles against the real Bull rucks. The other athletic rucks he usually beats.
Tom also doesn't direct his taps as well as Pittonet does. It is everything he can do to get his hand on the ball. Three or four time he gets it right and puts it down a mid's throat. They look just so good. But that is not the norm.
