Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3465557, member: 9853"] I'm not sure it is "pretty easy to see." I think we all can agree Kotoni's season started badly, went red hot before Origin and then petered out in a way none of us can satisfactorily explain. Selwyn's pretty much the same, though his peaks and troughs were higher and lower. Riki was roundly maligned for spilling balls and not offering enough in attack. But, in reality he was pretty solid, if unremarkable. You won't find much evidence of any of this in the stats. It's all eye of the beholder. Riki's stats are pretty decent. Certainly compared to every other edge forward. Look for yourself. Kotoni had 4 try assists to Herbie's 2, though that's from almost twice as many games. Herbie was just starting to hit his straps before he was injured racking up a blistering 10 tries in 12 games, a phenomenal improvement on last season's 3 tries from 20 games. Meanwhile Kotoni only scored 5, under par for him. But hardly abysmal. It's ironic you're kind of accusing Kotoni of being a hog, and suggesting replacing him with Herbie, who's suffered the same criticism. Both, in my opinion, are excellent damaging defenders and are capable of ripping through defensive lines. Both have their ardent fans and detractors. They're both in my starting side. [/QUOTE]
