Mallett throws Pollard under the bus

He makes a good point that Faff was doing all the decision making- along with Willie Leroux.

The Argies were putting alot of pressure on him, and as a scrumhalf you are facing the opposition- when your backline is behind you.

A flyhalf has the opportunity to run onto the ball and look at his options on the left and right, with more time and space.

When Pollard did get the ball he looked like a loose forward instead of trying to run the show, like putting players into space. Willie Leroux was the decision maker on all of the passing wide movements.

Maybe wee Wi llie was the decision maker on when to go wide but as many have said they often went wide when they shouldn't have. Anyway such decision are based on good communication along the backline and not usually left to one person.

Pollard did a fare amount of distribution. Mallett is  notorious for poor analytics. Especially where 10s are concerned. I do agree that he could be more authorative, but that's just the way he is. We don't have a communicator like Morné. Willie's job is to connect the outside backs with the halfbacks.

Morne a good decision-maker is the biggest joke I have heard in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what he did, he directed play and determined where and when he got the ball, that's what his role was. It may not be one you like to believe, but that's the reality. I said you get caught up in a lie every day, is this to be your serving for the 27th? 

Morne was perfectly summed up by Hansen and I believe that one and frankly not what you write.  He was totally predictable and therefore perfectly devoid of real decision-making ability.

That was further illustrated by a totally defective kicking game - he normally kicked away more than half of the balls he handled and most of those have been described by commentators as BS.  Fact is most of his kicks ended up as purely ball possession handovers.

That does not represents good decision-making ability - it represents a poor decision-making ability,    In any event I quoted many examples where his decisions were clearly poor.   That being the case - he effectively was a poor flyhalf who had to be told in advance what to do and he did what he was told without realizing the circumstances called for a different approach.        

You say you heard something, then you wildly elaborate on their behalf. You have a nasty habit of putting words in people's mouth. Did you ever do this professionally? 

I referred exactly to what Hansen said about Morne and unlike you realized what he meant by saying what he did,
