      It's been obvious all season that Bridge is in terrible form. It's been obvious for a long while he is a very limited option. And yet Foster and Co. selected him on the Left Wing for the ABs. 🤬

      Fozzie's obviously looking for a no.2 for Jordie Barrett.

          @machpants when he has supporting players to pass to there is no need. It’s called distribution and drawing & passing.

          Isn't he a winger? The position that should be held by someone with actual footspeed? Or is the winger there to pass to someone faster?

            Like when he’s one on one and he goes to ground?

              Pace isn't what Foster looks for in a winger

                  That’s one of the issues, he wasn’t doing that in the first 30. Poor

                                      @Virgil is it too late to nominate @Stag for a white knighting award for George Bridge? His efforts are incredible

                                        Tonga should try throwing it to the back I reckon. Element of surprise.
