I am surprised that Ben hasn't copped more flack today than Hampson....oh, hang on, no I am not, the BB can't see past Hampson can they.
Well IMO Griff was terrible last night, quite possibly the worst in our team. Ruck work was dreadful and so was his marking or lack of, no pressure and really was not involved at all.
Ok I will bite
Grab a copy of the game. I'll give you one centre square ball up situation tthat actually highlighted why his efforts in the mididle last night were better than Hampson's
Go to about the 20 minute mark, he goes up against Grundie, he wins the tap it goes straight to a pie mid. He then actually lays the tackle that causes another stoppage, ball up. At the 2nd ball up he doesn't win the tap but again lays the tackle that causes the ball free and we then clearance
That's what he did well and what Hampson simply doesnt do,
So if you are going to bag a blokes ruck work make sure that what you are whacking him for is accurate and that the person you use to compare him to actually bothers to do the same.
In this case Griffiths efforts read 2nd & 3rd efforts highlights what Hampson doesnt do, so thanks for bringing it up
I have a copy thanks, watched it twice and saw enough of Griff to come to that conclusion. Are you sure you are not watching last years game...
If you watch last night's game you will also see that Grundy tapped the ball to our players quite a bit too.
