Message: [QUOTE="BroncosFever, post: 3577693, member: 8670"] It's a position you don't get much credit for being good at, until you're exceptionally good at it. The casual fan isn't paying attention to the way the dummy half engages defenders with his eyes and all those subtleties, they pay more attention to the halfback/five-eight who throws the final pass or puts in the deft kick. They don't notice the defensive efforts either. Ben Hunt is basically the perfect example, he's not an 80 minute hooker (never has been) but he's really good at doing the things I just mentioned, the last pass, the deft kick, etc. Don't know how many coaches would take him on for his tackling efforts and the like, these are the things that are basically a non-negotiable in the NRL if you want to play in the middle but get overlooked by your casual fan. The issue for Paix is he doesn't do any of those things. [/QUOTE]
