Agreed. We have been seriously exposed with this exact scenario in two separate games, but Ricky is being Ricky about it.Pete Cash wrote:We can pick holes in the bench all day. We can say we look old and slow (we do) or that we need more punch (we do)
But issue number 1 is that its a bench that leaves us in big trouble if we sustain an injury anywhere that isn't a middle third player. An injury to a backrower or outside back puts Havili in the backrow and if he is there for any length of time he gets seriously gassed. His almost at times non-existent defense against the Warriors along with Scotts broken rib made us extremely vulnerable to the ball being shifted to that edge.
I have a lot of time for Havili and I think he has put in for the club. I don't blame him for the warriors game. That is what it is. A player is capped by his physical limitations. The guy can fill in the backrow for a period of time but for long stretches I would worry.
