The only positive for Paddy was the cheers from the crowd when he got a touch.I think the kid needs to be given proper game time to develop this. Unfair he gets sub position time and again then dropped then back as sub and is supposed to just fit straight in. He’s not a seasoned older player that could do that, he’s a kid that in my view has just not been given a proper full go of it.
If Paddy is to command a regular spot in the 22, he has to lift his defensive intensity and improve his decision-making. Cuningham didn't have a great game but the contrast between his ability to create the space and time to evaluate the options and execute well and Paddy's bang the ball onto his boot style is notable.
