A lot of focus this week on our outside backs (namely Manu) getting their hands on the ball.
Not sure if its been overlooked or underplayed but one major reason they haven't been able to get the ball is due to Teddy coming in thinking its under 12s and getting the ball first of the ruck and running around in circles trying to beat and fend off defenders.
Sure he beats a few defenders and causes trouble each time but 9 times out of 10 he ends up getting tacked not too far from where he gets the ball and the whole backline needs to quickly adjust.
We'll look better in attack if he can chime into the backline more like a lot of other fullbacks.
