He's 60% of a star - unfortunately some of that which is missing, is just non-negotiable stuff. He might never get there sadly if he can't sort out his def.
Cobbo + Hethro
Hehtro may need to play 80 (like Patty did)
Cobbo - early season fitness has been a problem for years - probably getting whipped by the coach
You mean like how last year, they simply spread it because our defense wasn't sliding effectively and they executed that plan for the whole game and we couldn't fix it?
This time, they've spread it several times and we've shut them down.
Amazing what having a coach with skills and not just...
The challenge for us, is he has big boots to fill - Patty is regularly a Rep in that position and has won at least 1 if not 2 Lock of the Year. If it brings Patty's game down, is it worth it?
If he doesn't step over the ball (which I've seen a dozen times this game, not called) and he had a damn good half - two really good gutsy runs out of trouble. Solid, fit.
