PopTart:
Max is the one giving passes to Tom, not the 6.
Pitts isn't stopping that.
No, I appreciate that, and I'm not being critical of DP, he's the coach and he does what he thinks is best picking JP at no6. You mention Max being the one to pass to Tom and that situation has been there, as you know, a long time. It's fine, but it's not enough. He needs the ball more, and half backs and centre should be getting it to him, besides the full back.
We all know what Tom can do but he gets more passes to drive the ball up, rather than half a scoring chance.
JP at no6 was an option.
IMO it didn't work. I'd rather see Harvey smith at sh and Lino at 6
Anyway, the sooner it's sorted the better because at the moment we have a team.of grafters but lack quality guile at hb.
