Falcons Vs Tigers

[Banquo]

25/23 and 8 tries last season, season before 12/12 and 10 tries. Seems his production started to dip around the time he entered the England set up. Perhaps frustration at making it to his first cap and then not kicking on or perhaps he's focusing so much on his work ons he's not following the instincts that got him all those tries.

playing at Falcons before this season may not have helped that much...

They were a weird team under Deano. Sometimes more than the sum of their parts, sometimes significantly less. They'd go through patches as well. I mean he managed 10 in 12 at Falcons under Richards so he's got it in him. It's just odd he's not looking for work and getting more involved when Falcons finally have a head coach who can get them playing a bit.

....his stats are quite interesting from yesterday; he touched the ball 14 times to Carreras's....4. So it may also be he's actually doing much more work, but not necessarily in the scoring areas.

That's very interesting. Was he sweeping the backfield then assisting Penny with the kick tennis? I can't remember now, trying to block the game out my memory.

He popped up all over the place. Maybe that's his role and might explain why his try scoring has fallen away.

Radwan looks really low on confidence at the moment. I do think the both the endless back and forth to England camps knowing he's not going to be selected and the work on's Eddie gave him have really messed with his head. I hope any communication from England now is far more based on his natural talents. He seems to be hesitating and thinking too much rather than remembering he's possibly the fastest player in the Premiership. When he does, he's his ridiculous self (see his tries v. Gloucester and Bath). Hopefully Falcons expanding their gameplay over the season (as Walder is doing) helps him back to himself.

I thought he was trying too hard if anything.
