I think Api should be in the halves. He doesn't provide the best of service to the guy running on to the ball when he's at dummy-half. Parcell, when he came on today, was a lot crisper (for the love of all that's holy, I wish my brain could've come up with a better word than 'crisper').
Against the Bulldogs, Api made 57 tackles, our highest for the game. He has talent but I think we'd be better served with Parcell as full-time hooker. Api could play 5/8.
I think Cherry-Evans needs to run at the line more, with ball in hand. I saw him create a bit of confusion for the defence when he did it a couple of times today. A support player next to him and he could carve up gaps. I'm not a fan of those grubbers of his because no one else knows about them. Give him a team of injury free players (himself included) and I think there would be a big difference.
I also noticed that we do try set plays too often that just weren't threatening.
Plus, I think Matthew Wright deserves more credit than he's due. Punted from the Cowboys mid-year and yet I have more faith in him than Williame. His goal-kicking skills are sorely needed, and his kick-offs can be quite good too (today he was good, despite the one out on the full).
just as gutted at how we've been this season as everyone is, but I think that there are a lot of things we can look to next year to be hopeful about.
As for Barrett..... I think my frustrations with some of the decisions he's made this year makes it hard for me to be objective. I just hope that next year we see him do exactly what he's capable of doing.
