Was it because he was injured? No.
Was it because he had run himself off his legs? No.
Was it because he was giving us nothing out on the ground? Yes.
Now lets address something else.
No, it was not 50 minutes of game time. You say that enough times and people start to believe you. He actually had 57% TOG (Time on Ground). Now, that is not 57 minutes. That game went for 124 minutes. Doing the maths for you, he played just under 71 minutes. What did he do in his 71 minutes? He got 3 touches. That is basically 1 touch a quarter.
I don't care how little the ball got down to the forward line. There were countless times were all 36 players were in one half of the ground. So there were countless times he was within 1 kick of the ball. How many times did he run and present?
You keep screaming to give him a chance. We gave him a chance. He was THAT bad that it was a wasted spot. A spot we can give to someone who appreciates it.
One got 6 weeks the other got one. If you could do anything on our forward line last week you'd be a genius. Jones did bugger all for weeks yet he's straight back in. With Henderson still out, we don't have alot so why not give Watson another go. He had at least be doing alright with the NB's and did well in his only other go up forward. Jones on the other hand has shown nothing, zip, zero. I'd prefer him to Jones when it gets down to it while Henderson is out.
When it comes down to it we'd have been better keeping Jaksch in and putting him forward. To bring Jones in ahead of him is a joke. Jaksch will have a crack, Jones workrate is poor.
