Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3276471, member: 9853"] No, I wasn't criticizing him particularly. I was just reacting to the gushing over his performance compared to Jamayne. He was thoroughly underwhelming in that 15 minutes, and I've seen nothing from him other than a general affection that suggests he would transform the team if shifted to the back. Right now, he's something of a poster boy, maybe due to some occasional, though impressive, little bursts through heavy traffic. Which coincidentally, Isaako does as well. Except Jamayne has turned his into tries. For what it's worth. It's just that fullback is the most exposed position on the field. You're the last line of defence. You're exposed to a barrage of high balls. You're continuously punished behind your own in goal. And you're very often the studied target of the opposition's offensive plan. When you **** up, the French report it. Herbie, meanwhile, at centre doesn't get this kind of attention. His role is to get the ball from the halves and turn it into a try. As a centre your defensive errors wind up making your winger look bad. How often do our wingers look bad? All I'm saying is be careful what you wish for. Moving Herbie to fullback will put him in the spotlight. Maybe he'll shine there. I don't know. What I do know is there isn't anything in that 15 minute cameo to provide evidence either way. And certainly not for. [/QUOTE]
