Neither of the Andersons respect the football enough, which is a sin. The team must defend half a dozen extra sets a game because of this. In terms of work ethic, I have no issue with Vinnie, I do think Louis could do more, but my issue with Vinnie is his desire to offload in impossible situations. I also don't think he looks anywhere near as threatening as he used to, the first season we had him, he was scoring full length tries & good tries closer to the line, this seems to have gone from his game.

In fairness to Vinnie, when he first turned up, he was running off in the back row area, he seems to have move further infield the longer he has been with us.

Did his job well yesterday which was a no frills second row. TS gave him a game plan and he pretty much stuck to it. yes, he dropped a couple of balls through trying to offload but on the whole was safe if not spectacular.

Louis was going to get a bit of a bashing but since yesterday, found out he was playing off his sickbed so give him due credit for even doing that.

Whether both are good enough for another contract is another story, who knows, long time to go yet in this season for opions to change.

For me, that has no bearing on him giving daft penalties & needless offloads away. If he was less forceful with ball in hand, or missed a few more tackles than usual, i'd make allowances. He was no more error prone than usual.

It looked like he got the hook for being crap anyhow, Error, Penalty in the next set, OFF.

He can be alot more dangerous and effective in attack if he was playing around the fringes. Rather than a donkey down the middle.
