Message: [QUOTE="NSW stables, post: 3085412, member: 10150"] I feel for jaymane, he definitely experienced second year syndrome and had some personal issues which understandably would have taken some of his focus off preparation. Yes, many of his defensive reads were poor, but there were other defensive mistakes on the inside of him which resulted in him getting the blame (i like turpin as a hooker but as a half, his defensive reads were terrible. He constantly came up and in, leaving the centre and winger trying to manage an overlap). He also had to deal with changing centre partnerships throughout the year which would have affected communication and familiarity with the centre's traits. However, he does seem to be a hard trainer and wanting to improve his game. He has pretty good acceleration, footwork and has shown he can be an effective broken field runner. I watched a couple games where he played fullback for the broncos and his positioning at fullback was much better than milford. In terms of catching bombs, i think he may be a little to aggressive at the ball and doesnt make sure he is as balanced as he should, but this can be learned. He does not have the passing skills of boyd or milf but that just means we dont try to use him like boyd or milf (i.e. slater and inglis were both great fullbacks but played very differently in a way that optimised their attributes). It would also be good to have his boot in field incase he we needed another option to kick us out of trouble (i have noticed that he at times will do a penalty kick for touch for us). My preference would be for bird at one, but short of having someone else come in, i wouldnt mind if isaako was given the opportunity. * I have not seen arthurs play much so he could potentially be a better option.
