[QUOTE="SelimNiai, post: 548252, member: 37756"] It's confidence, I think it's as simple as that. At the moment he has no belief in what he does as such hes not hitting lines at 100% speed like he did when he burst onto the scene. I think if he can snag a try or two next week then we'll see the real North. As for Cuthbert is the same but you wince at his part of the Zebo try, he got sucked into an area where two of our guys were anyway and BOD could only take contact with the two defenders or ship it wide. Cuthbert lost all his awareness that Zebo was behind him, now unmarked. He's got to be a bit more of a passive defender in those scenarios - not be drawn to the ball but to anticipate where the ball could do and react accordingly Issue for them both is that they're in a losing national team and play for losing domestic teams so gaining confidence is going to be difficult.
