Was talking about contested marking techniques- which when a player is bodily moved tends to make them look foolish. Happened to Hooker on one occasion, and Blitz still fumes about Gleeson based on a single Rohan incident.
No argument Francis can tackle hard, though I do think his confidence there suffered a bit last year when he was pinged for a sling tackle that was just a crunching effort to bring the player to ground

Yeah.
But short break + he’s spent the last 6 weeks training fwd
He can be forgiven
Looking forward to watching him get a proper go in defence with Ambrose not available for the next month
Will get suspended for the head knock on Blakey.
It wasn’t a head knock. No chance of being suspended

This bloke would have to be out most creative player by hand and foot.
Didn’t clunk many today but was good at everything else.

He was not good for 3/4’s but, like the rest, lifted in the last.

What happened to the form of late last year?
Dropped a chest mark today.
Cleaned up two today.
We just have to find a way to get him more involved.

I’d rather put games into Ridley to be honest

Saw more today - even though it was patchy - dropped chest mark - than what I’ve seen for a while. I’m thinking his confidence might be starting to grow. Hope I’m seeing green shoots rather than being on the weed - but stays in for mine.
I’d drop him purely for that short inside out kick to mcgrath in our defensive 50.
Do we have coaches and if so what the actual fark are they teaching these guys!?!
I don’t think Ridley and Francis are competing with each other.
Ridley needs one of Redman, McGrath, Zaka, Gleeson, Langford to go down.

Way out of form like half the team.
