I've read a lot of people blaming DCE for that play where Jake kicked. But in all reality, who the ball goes to on the last is down to the dummy half. Cherry may have called for the ball, but for whatever reason Levi passed it to Jake who in the end had no option but to either take the tackle and cause a handover or kick and hope for the best.
If one of our players had got to the ball and scored instead of it going dead ... Jake would have looked like a genius. Remember the 2011 Grand Final and Gifty's kick in our own quarter? We ended up going 80 metres to score and Gifty looked like that genius. If it hadn't come off he might have looked like a complete idiot.
For mine that whole play was more that Levi passed it to the wrong player than it was DCE's fault and another poor 5th tackle option from him.
Yeah I agree, it’s something that really needs to be ironed out before we play teams like the Raiders next week who play so cleanly. Although, could we see Lachy Croker start instead? Could be a chance, he was awesome last night
