Surprised there hasn't been more discussion about ringroses inability to bring his right wingers into play. He is very right side dominant, can pass off right hand well but when ball is moved that way he invariable steps back inside. Can anyone remember him ever spinning a long pass off his left hand?Dharper wrote:For me being greedy and wanting the perfect player RB could do with improving his passing (his offloads are good and improving) and coming infield for work.
I’d imagine he’s being told to stay wide, out of traffic and wait for the ball where he’s going to skin 90% of players and finish the job. Marshall/Hume at 13 would facilitate that no probs, for Ire getting a pass out of Ringrose with anything resembling space or half an opportunity to create it and RB ain’t getting brad pitt out out of him.
When things were going south for Stockdale and people mentioning his d/lack of tries, yes the quality of ball by the pack had deteriorated as they couldn’t get over the gainline-but actually what was killing him was Ringrose being a greedy feck and barely passing to him. Once the tries dried up there was no upside to his game/his confidence was shot with the media constantly on his back…..but not James lowes funnily enough. In fact thinking about it a lot of Stockdales tries were essentially self generated - the sooner Hume beds in for ire the better.
Personally I’d keep RB wide to avoid heavy contact/injury but at int level he needs it in the locker to come infield.
Apart from that and maybe improve his kicking (yep I don’t want him doing it either) I reckon he has pretty much all. I think the interception def read g Toulouse when they had an overlap would have got a favourable nod with ire coaches.
