Personally, I noted a few contests on the wing where I expected him to go in, and he held back.
It didn't look like 'shirking' to me, more like confusion.
There was a lot of hesitation in and around the contest from every player though.
Ralphsmith is definitely not soft, and tries his guts out.
Yes, I agree with this. There was one instance where at least two Tigers didn't make a play for the ball, which inevitably went to an orange jumper, which inevitably led to a shot on goal. It looked like collective indecision.
