@junior Watching clips of TJP in training he has good passing technique. But it seems in the heat of a match his radar goes awry and the ball can spray anywhere!
I've just watched a replay of this game. He has a habit of passing above the heads of tall players too, which takes some doing. In this instance, a pass to Lomax, who did well to catch it.

TJP has always been a player that when he tries too hard his game goes to the bin. When he controls himself and calms down his game always benefits.
He is an exceptional rugby player, with an average to poor halfback pass. Kinda like Justin Marshall.
That try he scored against Namibia in RWC was just insane - a really incredible sight. He has done things on the field that are just mind boggling (in a good way, haters) ... but as a 9 his passing and decision making is patchy.
On the negative, his seagulling in Lions 3 after we got awarded a scrum allowed the Lions halfback to steal the ball and run downfield. More focus there and we score somehow. Yes, I can bear a grudge people.

He’s also a terrier on defence, and though not huge, generates some awesome turnovers. But I agree with a few on here, he seems to be trying to be a fast as Smith, but can’t do that with accuracy.
He’s also been beyond awesome for the canes and hopefully he’ll knock the fuckwit folau off the top of the trying scoring list next year
