Quote FredParky="FredParky"TBH Iain your right about the 80 - 20% but lets not forget thats about the percentage of newish boys in the squad still learning to play together, after having watched the game on my 'big' telly Watto did some really good stuff but it was spoiled by either late support or non existent support,(which makes him look stupid) the couple of times they did work out tries were scored off him, we have two second rowers big strong young eager kids in AJ (yes I know he played centre today but he's a 2nd rower) and Haggerty Id be telling them to stick on wattos shoulders, Riddy is I think finding the step up hard he's not doing that bad but breaking no pots but its still early days for all the team.
But they are all we have so they will have to grow together (and fast).'"
As DS has said I am not a huge fan of Watson also,but I was defending him to the hilt today amongst our own supporters.What you have said above Fred is spot on for me. Also without Watson we would have little or no direction. Maybe this mantle could be taken on/shared by Durbin in the future as I believe he is more than capable.
I think Riddy has looked better in each game and does not look out of place in this division. He certainly works his socks off for the cause and does not shirk his defensive responsibilities.
