Where was the leadership when Vickery took the grab?
Shouldnt the captain run to the problematic player and ensure he has the shot by telling him to settle and run the clock down?
If not the captain, anyone wih leadership ??
Although you make a valid point, surely Vickery is a senior enough player to understand the situation and come to that conclusion himself?
Clearly he's not and what's the point of having leaders ?
Put it down to more neglectful development by the coach and Club.
I watched the last six minutes and forensically looked at the various set-ups around unfolding play. Initially I thought Cotch had to take a lot of the blame but I've changed my mind. He was very good in that crucial time. What was patently clear once again was the complete lack of scenario planning. I know I seem like a broken record but it
is a failing of the coaching panel and the club as you have rightly pointed out. In that last pack we had Townsend, Jack and another player flying against Fasolo FFS. Meanwhile, Rance and Hampson looked on. The third player who clipped Jack and imo made him miss the spoil was none other than the bloke who crucified us all night - Hunt! In what crucial pack set-up would you have that combination!...and they had plenty of time to work themselves out. There was also one Pie player and Cotch at the front of the pack and 4 pies, Hampson and miles behind it??????? They are a shambles
