Which is why i was saying we need a player like Polson in the team. Someone who almost gets enjoyment out of pressuring, chasing tackling the opposition.
Compared to our 2 FPs (Fas and Gibbons) who have been a non event.
As i said in the pre-match, no point having 2 dedicated FPs if you can't get the ball down there or keep it there when you do.
You're kidding if you think Polson would have made the difference. We had many, many passengers.
Fas wasn't the only bloke who looked like he hadn't played for 5 years and looked completely at sea. Newman, E Curnow, Simpson, Murphy, Thomas and Cripps kept us in it. Nice Cameos from a few and about a dozen were non-hackers.
