Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 2948904, member: 9424"] I am not looking to incite an argument, but have to disagree. Bold item 1. Simple - he’s been improving most weeks since about week 8. But boy he needed to, he was so poor to start the year. Moreover, he needs to keep on improving. He is still quite a long way short of the player he was when playing fullback for Australia only a couple of seasons ago. Bold item 2. I could not disagree more if I tried regarding those three things you say he is doing each week. He used to execute that link play with such ease that it was almost a given that we’d score off it - that is not the case this year. Defences haven’t suddenly figured out how to stop it after failing to do so for the last 7 or so years. He puts his body on the line when someone runs directly at him (which is the job of every defensive player), but if they step he’s left grasping at air (granted, his near intercept a few weeks back was an absolutel cracker). But some of his efforts in defusing kicks this year have been incredibly lacklustre. And finally, if you’re honest, he would be making less metres than almost all, if not all, fullbacks in the NRL. Sure, this has never been a strength of his, but if he’s not performing his strengths well, it might be time he starts looking at improving other areas. [/QUOTE]
