Message: [QUOTE="KingWebcke, post: 2519055, member: 8372"] I was never implying anything of the sort! Thaiday's ability is undeniable and he was a great backrower before 2012, but even in his heyday his success wasn't the result of great footwork, passing or a Beetson-like offload. He ran good lines, combined well with Lockyer and had a brute strength that allowed him to monster defenders. But that style of play doesn't seem to be quite as effective anymore. If you watch games today it seems like the more successful second rowers have a bit more finesse and less of an emphasis on raw strength and power. It means that Thaiday just doesn't have the same impact he used to and unless the game changes dramatically he is going to continue being a bit old-school as a backrower. [/QUOTE]
