Actually I think this maybe good coaching from Des. Surely Des has tried everything to get Marty from offloading those balls that either go to ground, or go to the opposition.
But he continued to do it. When he threw a nothing ball in the Sharks 20, in the first half.
So Dessies got them in at half time and said to Marty, you leave me no choice. He then addresses the rest of the team, letting them know that anyone passing to Marty for at least 20 minutes in the second half will be replaced. And DCE, Walker didn’t let the coach down.
If he ain’t got the ball, he ain’t gunna throw it away. Well played Des.
