When is the last time you have seen mini, make contact with a player who busts the line ? I'm not even talking about try-savers. Just contact.
- The grubber that they scored from - although you cannot lay any blame with him for the try - was he even in the area ? He wasn't within two frames of the ball. Every fullback i watch is always there-abouts, even if they can't stop the try.
- Fulton's try - didn't even make contact. Lets face it, the odds of stopping it were minimal but Mini just had the good old air-swing,
- The 30 year old fijian's 'NO TRY' - wtf was he doing ? He closed on Utai but then hesitated. For farks sake, either commit and put pressure on the kick like a good fullback or position yourself for the kick trusting your chasers. He was left standing in no man's land. It's not as though he is inexperienced.
- Constant line clogging and rubbish dummy half running.
- Constantly getting dominated on kick returns and starting our set on the back foot.
I really hope he scores the try for the record, but the longer he takes, the longer we suffer.
