Message: [QUOTE="Skathen, post: 3055558, member: 8789"] How quickly the tide turns because of one decent game against a spoon contender. He was no where close to the best player on the paddock, which is a problem considering his premium price tag. That and where are we going to play him. FB is as good as locked in for Milf now it seems. Halves? He's not a play maker by even his own admission and has proven his inability to grab the team by the scruff of the neck and drive them to a win. He can pass a bit, apart from one kick last night I am not convinced he will be close to our other options in that regard. He roamed well, but he's always done that. He's not the kind of player for a deft kick or to bamboozle defenders and cut through the line. Centres or Wing? We have Bird, Staggs, Herbie, Jaymane, Oates, Coates, Perese and Kennar and 4 positions to go around. After origin exposed his defence at Centre, its a big gamble to put him there too. Who do we deny to slot in an at best average player, playing out of position? Thats at his best. If this season is anything to go by and the "its just a game" attitude, we may get a handful of those games per season... I have nothing but respect for the guy's career and his achievements - but this is an elite code that demands perfection to take out the top prize. He is either mentally or physically not up to the task and its not just this season, its been a decline ever since the hammy injury against the cows 2 years ago. Someone has to make the tough call, for the good of the team long term. No point ignoring the elephant in the room in the hopes he comes good in the next year or two. [/QUOTE]
