Evalds?

Post by betts21 » 16 Sep 2021, 22:58

What’s gone wrong he was a player I was over the moon that we got but he seems to have really gone backwards and he never looks comfortable under high ball?

He’s been good this season without playing with any consistent 6 or 7. He had a bad game today but so did most players. Next year I think his game will go to the next level feeding our outside backs who have pace and power.

Set 3 tries up today and if Olpherts could catch would of been more, do agree with the high ball though as the old saying goes ‘never let a ball bounce’ and cost us today!

Roll on next year!

Every player has a bad game and not catching the ball on the full twice doesn’t constitute having a bad game

Mamo is very fast tho let's be honest and Evalds was about there with him. Wouldn't question his pace tbh, just needs to learn to catch on the full

Really good player from what I have seen this year. Had a poor night last night.
His link up play has been great this year. I always thought he was soid under high ball but last night had a bit of a stinker. Not the reason we lost though.

Last week was poor too, letting too many balls bounce, mix ups with wingers.
Hardaker solid with receiving the kicks at the back he could also return the ball well, evalds not a patch on him.
Hardaker is a much better fulback, Evalds no where near the physical presence of Zac, i remember Zac in 2017 returning kicks with intent, not catching and passing 20 yards to wingers, which gives chasers time to meet the wingers.
Evalds too reliant on the wingers to do his work for me, which in turn puts pressure on the wingers. Full back would be Zac for me every day.
Dont like the person that is Zac tho, he needs a personality transplant.

So evalds is the new bad guy now is he? I swear to god we could sign mal Reilly in his prime and some clown would pick fault in him. The garbage that evalds had outside him in olpherts who'd be lucky to catch covid, never mind a ball or cold, while running makes his game look bad, yes, his game was off tonight but christ on a bike... Get some quality like mamo, faraimo, hopefully feki n Eden as well his game will improve no end simply because he's not having to worry about where his wingers gonna be floating off to.

Of all the performances yesterday, Evald's, who assisted 3 tries, is the one someone starts a thread on #-o

He's been one of only an handful of players who can come out of this season who can hold their heads high.

In my view not one player in our squad has had a consistent season, maybe thats due to injury, form, not sure.
But we do need a freshen uo as a club.
Evalds for me is not the player he was at Salford. I would play Zac everyday at fulback in place of him.
Maybe he will perform better under Radfords playing ethos, lets hope we see a more consistent squad next season.

Evalds record with assists speaks for itself. He had a bit of trouble with a couple of top quality kicks last night, unusually for him. Zac is quality, but not infallible either. Happy to have either at fullback but suspect Evalds wouldn’t be happy to be pushed out. If we take Zac with his off the field record and lose Evalds as a consequence, we’ll live to regret it.

Evalds
Feki
Hardaker
Mammo
Faraimo
Wouldn't be too dusty if the rumours are true about Zak

Evalds is normally sound as a pound under the high ball been one of our best players this season
