as i said on the match thread, losing Harris has buggered the attacking platform significantly. in the game against the Samoan's, he and JD interchanged a lot, especially on 2nd and 3rd phase play, i don't think Placid has the ability to do that, Ellison who did it against the Bulls wasn't playing and Inman for all his gifts isn't a creative player. for all those critical of Meehan he can't pass if he has no options to pass to, the Rebs players were pretty fatigued at the end and so despite making a lot of half breaks no one was really up to finishing off because everyone was just a half step off the pace needed, so the passes went a tad back, people ran just the wrong line etc. still 2 out of 3 with all the "baggage" is a good return.
