"The main difference between playing League and Union is that now I get my hangovers on Monday instead of Sunday - Tom David
(Just sayin')
I think you're right. The few times Ive seen Sias take it to the line he has looked white hot. That might be because he's just that good running the ball, it might be because he waits until he can destroy his opposite number before running or it might be because the defense don't have a freaking clue what he's doing if he doesn't get rid of the ball in the pocket, however he DOES have a good running game and IS making steps toward using it. I think Zack and Sias are teaching each other a few things and it will be a partnership worth sticking with
Yes, Foley seems to have grown in confidence since the Wallabies games and that has pretty much sealed the deal for him, however he is running in the middle of a team of superstars (essentially the Wallabies playing in a provincial competition) and SHOULD be looking the goods right now. I think Sias and Zack don't have the same quality around them and therefore will take longer to sort it out but will probably be better for it. Foley is likely to become the Cliffy Palu of flyhalves because he doesn't usually play against opposition which challenges his team that much.....meet a challenge and become baggage, sound familiar?
As will I, like I said, more threats around him and more pressure from Zack will do him good. At the end of the next contract we can make a decision.
THat's true, but Sias has calmed a lot of that in him, particularly riding the pine for significant patches of the season watching a pocket passer/kicker beat him into the 15 week in week out, Zack will either learn to steady himself a bit or learn to get comfortable with splinters
I really think the ideal for us is somewhere in the middle of the two, a threatening runner with a deadly kicking game, sound good? All we need to do is get them to draw each other to the centre and we might end up with two awesome flyhalves.
C'mon the
I agree, that i will be backing the boys every time they run on. I don't know who the best option is. It is also really hard to tell whether he was that good due to the back RUNNING ONTO THE BALL AT PACE! but he had a great long, accurate bison of a pass.
i don't think we have that. He is also a bit nuggety, kinda like shets was. happy to get in their face.
They still have a couple more years to hit their peak, they are 24-25. so hopefully they can pull it together. But a better functioning backline will help too.
