Message: [QUOTE="The Don, post: 3153702, member: 11393"] I feel as though your middle paragraph there comes with experience which DCE should have plenty more of by now. There is definitely still room for improvement in that area in Ash's game. In terms of would I stick with Ash... I personally believe he can overtake DCE as a player and given he will probably be on a heavily reduced contract next time, on value for money no question. In terms of playing through a defence etc. I am assuming you mean line breaks and line break assists which in Taylors defence he has had fringe second rowers outside him and doesn't have someone like Turbo who is a weapon at breaking the line who he can throw an inside ball to and what not. Against the sharks he put a debutant secondrower through the line for a 40m break twice so he is hardly useless there. In terms of relying on kicks and going around... if that gets double the try assists for his team I don't see the problem (are kicks and cut out passes no longer a skill?). If DCE was so good at picking apart a defence how come his total try contributions isn't higher. I honestly fail to see why Ash cops so much for his salary when in attack he is just a potent as the highest paid player in the game and QLD and Aus's halfback at that. Just my opinion. To answer your question, at the moment I think both are overpaid and DCE might get the nod mainly on experience etc. In 2022 when Ash's contract is re-negotiatied him hands down. On the defensive front, I honestly believe some of this can come down to the team around you. For example Mitch Moses has similar stats but because of the team around him this gets hidden. Bit hard to do that when the Titans are up there with the worst defensive side in the comp. [/QUOTE]
