Polec can get f***ed. He was absolutely shite tonight. I thought he was a good pick and we dumped with Pittard and Hall. But those two turned to be not so bad. The players that come in ate the ones that haven't pleated yet.
It's hard to perform well as an outside player when the opposition knows that if you're around the contest and Cunnington or Jed win the inside ball, they are 100% looking to dish it off to you. Even if he does end up on the handball receive, it's hard to show off your foot skills when you have two or three blokes on your hammer.
I've seen it a few times this year, he's looked to break the tackle of one bloke only to be swarmed by two or three oppo players. At Port he was used to only having one player to contend with and he found it easy to break away.
How do they get two or three on him so quickly? Because they know that exactly that it's coming to him and that our designated inside players are very unlikely to kick it themselves.
I'll cut him some slack until our midfield plan isn't so bloody obvious.
