Leicester Tigers statement: 'Tom Hardwick is no longer a member of the club'

Noteable credits to Sopoaga, Gareth Anscombe, and a few others.

It will be a lot easier when Roigard is back taking over the majority of the tactical kicking. Surely Razor/Hensen can also do something to unlock Jordies boot. Some articles were heavily critical of the exit plays setup not using Jordie.

He didn't give them anything to complain about in that regard (though some still did in general about the attack) so they've taken to his kicking which was fairly average but in the grand scheme of things wasn't that impactful (to the loses/poor periods).

2. It's his option-taking on tactical kicking that is the main problem. He his the skill-set to be a tactician (although I think with the Chiefs, Stevenson shares a lot of that load) but if you look at his run-pass-kick stats, he runs and passes way more than he kicks.

3. Dmac is kicking at 76% in internationals this year and tends to have on or off nights with the boot...just look at the stats. He's great in games where there is less pressure but he folded in South Africa.

England G1 - 40%

England G2 - 83%

Fiji - 85%

Argentina G1 - 86%

Argentina G2 - 100%

South Africa G1 - 50%

South Africa G2 - 66%

Australia G1 - 100%

4. While I agree on this point, Dmac is a maverick so he's always going to favor attack over playing it safe.

I think there is a lot of truth in your argument. I think what is still more pertinent in this discussion is that people still are..

1. Happy that the All Blacks haven't immediately returned to being the worlds best team with Razor in charge and so happily take joy out of sticking the boot into whatever is still moving..

2. Unhappy that the All Blacks haven't immediately returned to being the worlds best team with Razor in charge and so retaliate by sticking the boot into whatever is most visible..

People are asking for him to 'just be average' alright, but I think that would definitely have made the results far more average and that's were these two points would really kcik in further and find the same target.

Top goal kicking version of Manie Libbok. What South Africa used to have!

He is full on for sure, he sees no reason not to take advantage of an opportunity?

He's played several tight controlled games this year, if you're talking about tight contests against constricting teams while making no mistakes. If you just mean, 'he's not "just done nothing" or, "only done the bare minimum"', yeah I think that agrees with ^^. Why do you want to see that?
