Roos marking

Shoot me down. But for the best CHF in the game. He is a terrible pack mark.[/list]

Erm, no.

The reason why it may appear that way is that these days, when Roo goes up in a pack, he's usually alone and up against 3 opposition players.

Didnt he take ten or more marks and kick 3.

He is average stationary, even one on one.....

In motion, he is great pack mark, even outnumbered

Very difficult to mark the ball when it is kicked to you and there are 3 players trying to spoil your marking attempt.

The main issue is not so much Roo, but the players delivering the ball to him.

He is at the moment, but he's one of the best when he's in form.

Ball was kicked badly to him.

Also, the standard practice for his opponenets is to tunnel him. Watch the replay, it happens nearly every time. Our players need to put the ball out in front of him rather than way over his head. That will fix the problem.

+1

Our kicking in general is terrible at the minute.

I thought he was down on endeavour last night. Who can blame him, when he has been putting it on the line while others have;nt.

Agree he's not going at 100% like he has his entire career so far. Very strange to see from him.

There was, they just wore a Richmond jumper :shock:

Seriously, watch the replay, it was planned for sure.
