I agree that our bench players lack impact (except JSL) and that our forwards in the second half against Parra were poor, but why have our backs escaped criticism? All four Parra tries came from backs - our forwards wern't responsible for the poor defence on these occasions.
Hiku is missing too many tackles. Brett make an uncharacteristic mistake and Parra scored from the resultant scrum.
DCE and Foz were rarely sighted in attack.
I know we have the best backline in the comp, but they let the team down just as much as the forwards in the second half.
I know there is the cliche about forwards laying the platform, but it was the whole team responsible for the capitulation, not just the forwards.
I'm sure we'll skittle the 'Riff on Sunday. We must, however, compete for the entire 80 minutes. There is not much between the top eight teams in this comp, as recent results show.
