Im never one to stick up for a winger but Fergo has been copping a bad rap from last nights game. His one on one tackle to hold up a near certain try was magic and his strong running has been a highlight for the last couple of months as is his attack under a high ball. He also isnt exposed as much for his defensive reads since moving to the wing
Now onto THAT play last night. Benji kicks the ball and Oates & Moga are a good 10 metres behing Aubo, who turned and went into a jog while the Oates & Moga sprinted past him.He only reacted when he could see what was unfolding and by then he was 20 metres behind.Even if wasnt a 40/20 situation he should have been getting back there.It was lazy from Aubo.
Now onto the other wing. My 2017 cash cow was backing whoever Toops was marking to score a try.....i was making a handsome profit watching Toops run in for no reason and giving his opposite winger a gift.So what has happened since Toops has been out injured? Not 1 try from a opposing right winger.When Latrell does comes in opposing centres are getting nailed and next time the ball heads there way they know Latrell is coming and meaning business. I know Toops is a favourite amongst you keyboard warriors but interestingly there hasnt been any calls of " stay on your wing" from the Chookpen at the ground since he has been out! I also think we are missing his ball playing in his own quarter while being driven back at a rate of knots
Happy Days!
