Message: [QUOTE="The Don, post: 3169871, member: 11393"] I can see what you mean, at times it does appear he is a bit lazy currently. In terms of the teams know to chuck 3 defenders on him to shut him down, I feel the lack of quality ball the Broncos are able to give him does contribute in part to this issue. Even if not fully the Broncos fault currently, a 2nd rower drawing that sort of attention can only make it easier for your outside backs on that edge to get space. Since being back, I checked the stats and to be fair to him with the exception of TPJ (who seems to play similar to a prop at 2nd row), he is still only running 2nd-3rd in run metres behind Haas and/or Carrigan every week with an average of 138m. To do a comparison on Titans 2RF, I struggled to find one performance of over 100m with the average seeming to be down at around 70m (approximation as majority seemed to be around 60m pg). I think a lot of the bad perception around how he is playing is similar to Ash of late. He is actually playing reasonably well but all eyes are on him to lift the team. On the defensive end, I just watched the highlights to refresh the game as easy to miss stuff watching live. Obviously the Roosters third try, he could've done a better job positioning wise but other than that I didn't see many problems. Origin should be a good test I guess as hard to judge performances in a team getting blasted off the park. I don't think many of the Broncos have faith in their teammates defence which probably compounds the problem. [/QUOTE]
