Early in the season we were getting a lot of value from our 2nd string players. Now they are really struggling.
Kerridge looks tired and isn't at his best. Nor has this tiredness helped his decision making.
Wright was good for a long time, but he has also run out of juice and no longer goes under the radar.
Sumner ran out of gas some weeks back and now has been dropped.
Lamb has been similar: he was producing 20 possessions a game around the time of the bye.
Armfield has gone off the boil, although a lot more recently. He was excellent a few weeks back.
These guys were the difference between victory and defeat earlier in the year.
Casboult had a good one, but that hasn't happened much this year.
Liam Jones was OK, but not brilliant.
Silvagni has shown something, but hasn't really got heaps of the ball yet.
Some of their issues come from our appalling forward football. Kicking the ball long for pack marks that don't happen, or looking from crumbs which we don't get, appears a very poor way of getting the ball forward. Have our mids and defenders ever heard of lowering the eyes and looking for a leading forward?
