Jaguares
@cgrant when players lose game time for no apparrant reason sometimes it’s because they have indicated to their franchise they are moving seen it before.Just throwing it out there is that the reason ? because it surprises me both have not had more game time .
I am sure there are some franchises who would be looking for a lock with some height in particular.
@Chris yeah Hunt should move to the Chiefs or even the Saders, he's a frikken AB and is simply a better player than Lentjes. It's bizarre he can't even get on the bench.
Parkinson is a tougher one - he's very young and the locks that have been playing, have been playing bloody well. He got more game time than I thought he would earlier in the season (but played well).
@cgrant said in Highlanders v Jaguares:
Hemopo and Franklin have been great, that's true. But what about Dickson who's got a lot more game time than Parkinson ?
Did I say all the locks except Dickson?
Clearly
I just realised he's been in Japan so his NPC performances were from a couple of years ago
That was classy from Ioane. Good long pass earlier too
He’s so far ahead of Black with ball in hand
fuck lucky the Jaguares let Dixon stand for so long doing nothing with his hands on the ball then rejoined the ruck...
That was some awful assistant ref work.
Camera angle shows ball go out about 10 metres out.
Assistant ref just gives it 5 metres out.
Cripes.
Probably the best game I've seen from Tomkinson with ball in hand. Even at NPC level, I've not seen him really attack like this.
@Duluth said in Highlanders v Jaguares:
Good start by the Jaguares
..and again
I expect they'll fade away again
Some really ugly holes being left 2-3 wide of the breakdown by the highlanders. So frustrating, it's just lazy defence, people not scanning.
