What you would see on a tv and what you would see at a game are totally contrasting views. On the tv you will see a player popping up all over with effort, and looking like doing tackling. Actually at the game you would see a player in cloud cuckoo land, leaving gaps all over, his back to play, slow getting in line, and having absolutely no idea where he was supposed to be. Fans shouting all over ground with hands on head. An absolute terrible player, who shouldn’t be anywhere near professional standard in this game.
I hope you never have to see him live. Because frustrating is a massive understatement. We must have at least 10 players behind him who would do a 100% better job than him.
What I saw on TV was our second highest tackler with 38 who was our top marker tackler, showing he made a lot of first tackles many of them low down round the legs bring the attacker down. Yes on occasions he was slower getting back in the line but this often happens to players who make a lot of tackles on the trot. Not bad for a player off the bench I say.
So my comment was accurate and valid, and I say your comments are inaccurate and biased and suggest you watch the TV video which provides a closer view of the big effective effort he put in last night and I gather a similar one at Widnes. Why did you choose Walters to have a go at when Ormondroyd only made 9 tackles with 4 misses leading to at least one of their tries?
That said he is just a fringe squad player but so far this season he has done all that has been asked of him and my guess is the coach will be pleased.
You say there are are least 10 players behind him who would do a better job. On his form this season please could you name your "10 players at least who could do a better job" who would come off the bench and be 2nd best tackler with 38!
So this difference of opinion is nothing to do with watching Live or on TV unless of course the action is too far away for you to see. Perhaps you need a visit to Specsavers!
