I think
Townsend needs to paly a more dominant role. I think he needs to be controlling the plays more than
Chanel Harris-Tavita, doing the kicks for the line (penaltys) and should be doing the goal kicking. Take all the pressure off the younger and less experienced players in
Chanel Harris-Tavita and
Walsh so they can focus on their game more
I agree. Having so much responsibility on young guys isn't fair on them. Where I earn my living there is no way that an 18 year old apprentice would be asked to carry the high pressure load that these kids are. Even if they volunteer for it. Thats where the more experienced guys stand up. And the fact that
Walsh is being given the ball at make or break moments says more about the state of the Warriors and less about Walshs skills
I would like to see the senior players take more ownership during the game . Townshend needs to kick. And if he misses so what. He is mature enough to wear it.
It looks to me that
Walsh is struggling in general. The expectation on him must make be putting so much pressure on him. Give the kid a break and put support players around him for the next couple of games and let him go back to having fun. He will still learn and then we have the off season for the brains trust to work on getting long term plans in place for next year
Let's not let history repeat and have our nice things broken before we get to enjoy them to the fullest
