Message: [QUOTE="Mr Fourex, post: 2510478, member: 7980"] That's all pretty subjective but...... Knowing my fullback isn't a speedster....I don't really want him chasing kicks down field. I'd rather him stay at the back in case the opposition returning the ball make a break. The fullback's no good if he's one of the defenders left lying in the wake of the opposition down the other end of the field. He does have some defensive issues ....that was noted when they moved him back to fullback. Positioning is a fullbacks greatest asset. He hasn't nailed it down, just yet. To be fair though, what's this.... his 20th game playing fullback in first grade? He wasn't a natural fullback in the lower grades. It's not the easiest of positions to get right straight off the bat. It took Slater a couple years to get right....Inglis is only just starting to get it. and I'll agree he isn't quick off the mark and takes a while to wind up and even then, as I said, he's not a speedster. I don't agree that he's catting it when he returns the ball. I think he's trying to find a way through the line. I think what happens is (because I do think he's still a bit dumb and aloof) he forgets that the defence aren't stopping still and waiting for him to decide how he'll attack the line. That's more like his u/20's days, when you've got more time to do what you want as opposed to playing in the NRL where the defence is immediately in your face. It's no excuse though really.....he's been playing first grade long enough to know this. That's why earlier I claim it's a bit to do with his maturity/age as a footballer.....maybe even as a person. It simply says to me that he's still a developing footballer. Hasn't quite worked it out yet. He knows he can do things but is still unsure of when to do them at the right time..... His kicking is the thing that pisses me off the most because I don't think he concentrates hard enough on it. He does have a quality kick on him, but at the moment is still capable of producing some absolute shockers. I cringe when he takes a kick at the line for a penalty, because I'm not confident he'll make the line. Why the f*ck Wallace or Prince don't step in and take the ball off him.... I don't know. Both as the senior players should take control. Still....none of this screams out to me that he doesn't have heart....isn't trying ....doesn't want to be there ......has a massive ego .......is an absolute shitcunt. I don't get the hate.... if it were simply a case of saying, "he's deserting us after we put a lot of time and effort into him and he flies off at the first scent of big money and he's a disloyal little fucktard" ....that'd be different, I don't think I could argue against that.
