Message: [QUOTE="Rough and Ready, post: 3506322, member: 13327"] Herbie without doubt is a powerful running centre with so much potential and a great career ahead of him. Such clubs as Storms, Souths, Roosters and the master himself Wayne endorse this by attempting to sign or having signed him. Since 19 years of age , Herbie has toughed it out in a young Broncos team which is gaining and developing in experience each game. Along this journey there may be highs and lows for each and every playing member of the team. Being an edge player, especially centre, you are out in the wilds, no man's land at times, you are reliant on the responsive actions of the players inside of you , their movements and decision making process throughout the game has a great bearing on how you actually respond and react. In this game alone there were two positional changes which had a bearing on Herbie's edge, yet Herbie still maintained a high 92%.3 tackle efficiency compared to Graham's 79.1%. When we speak about carries and meters, quite a lot of Herbie's receipts and carries are from a ruck area attack, either 1st or 2nd get out trouble, red area, tough hard meters carries , which Herbie relentlessly carries out in a very determined and brave manner. The 80 post contact meters Herbie gained in this game compared to Graham's 151m and 54 post contact meters having 4 ball receipts less than Graham and ten minutes less play time, could be converted into many different summaries as to who had the more influential game with regards to work effic and stats . The Souths couldn't contain Herbie in his attacking runs, even the naked eye could see this. When a member of this site clearly states in one of their posts how they discredit stats, then in another post produce stats as a means of discrediting a player. The wise ones of us can constantly read into this. What would Herbie have done with the good ball Graham received in order to score his tries? without doubt he would have finished them in a clinical manner giving as usual his all. When you receive the ball in limited space on the edge, especially if your feeders are running in a lateral direction and entering into your space, it becomes a reactive instinct to automatically attempt to try and find space yourself, you have a variety of options, if you attack the edge in such limited space you place yourself and fellow players in a more vulnerable attacking position. It all depends on the situation at the time and the circumstances. Like most of our young players Herbie will evolve and evolve. We have an exciting young team which is developing all the time. Of course there are certain areas they need to improve upon, this will come in time, after all Rome wasn't built in a day. As long as the effort is there and the boys keep their spirits up and working away, what more can we ask for? We should be proud and supportive of each and everyone. [/QUOTE]
