Message: [QUOTE="mick, post: 2257115, member: 1794"] Agreed about his speed - the best part of his game now is his vision, whereas it used to be his running back in the day. Disagree about tackling though. On the whole he's an extremely effective defender IMO. He very rarely misses tackles which lead to linebreaks or the other team scoring tries. He might not complete many and that could look bad in the stats, but if he slows down a rampaging forward or centre or something just enough so that other Broncos defenders arrive to put him down, that's good enough for me. Look at Karmichael on Fui Fui this year. Classed asa missed tackle one on one, but the big truck was moving at a hell of a speed. Karmichael's "missed tackle" looked bad in the stats, but because of his technique and effort Fui got pulled down by three defenders who wouldn't have made it otherwise. Sometimes stats don't tell the whole story. Most of the time, even. [/QUOTE]
