[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 371939, member: 13739"] Yeh, I think Jones was probably concussed. I also agree that Hook didn't do great from 1st reciever either, and he found himself there quite alot. Not sure about Robers, he has looked fit for the Blues, although I have no idea about the last 20mins, as he was annonomous throughout. There's not much he can do if he isn't passed the ball! But he probably needs to play at 12, not 13 because his angles of running doesn't seem to suit 13. Should he be dropped, I'm not sure. It's hard to judge him too much when he simply was not used atall in this game. I see your point about Powell. He can offer a running threat, and he did make a few decent carries in his time on the field. He also gave away at least one stupid penalty though. Ryan Jones made an impact imo, so I'd continue with him at 8, even if Powell is fit. We really need to improve our attacking, it's shocking that we are not more threatening considering the players we have at our disposal. Edit. Regarding Stoddart. I thought he played quite well. Yes he probably should have taken Stephen Jones' cross field kick, but he would have been tackled into touch anyway. It was a stupid decision from Jones when we had at least a 2 man overlap at the time. Yes he did almost bugger up that try by overrunning Davies slightly, but he still scored the try, so I won't be too harsh on his there. One other knock on from a high ball was his other mistake. Countering that though, I thought he was strong whenever he got the ball in his hands. He came infield a few times and every time made yards. Not spectacular, not terrible, decent return to international rugby imo. What he is, is a finisher, unfortunately he only had one opportunity which he took. [/QUOTE]
