Message: [QUOTE="Morepudding, post: 3046225, member: 8923"] I think it's the thought process behind the play. Making those tackles you speak of yes, are effort plays and can be seen as inspiring, but they aren't plays where he is likely to get injured. Diving on a grubber / loose ball, Running at someone full pace to push them over the sideline, these are situations where he could hurt himself, and those are the plays he chooses not to make. Same goes for his work with ball in hand. He very rarely, if ever runs at full pace. Again, running at full pace is likely to increase chance of injury which he simply won't do. That's the most frustrating part to me. Secondly, another thing that worries me is that whilst people say this is a building / transitional period etc. Sure. We have a young team. But the issue is, two of our spine players are not going to be in the team when we are a real premiership threat (Boyd / Macca). Which means in 1-2 years, when our forwards are starting to mature and are firing, we will have a brand new spine. In most cases it takes a team or two to develop strong combinations in the spine. I think the only one with significant spine change in 1 year that did well was the Roosters, and i mean they had Cronk and Tedesco come in who are arguably the two best players in their position so it is a little different. With this in mind, it would be another 3-4 years until we might be a premiership threat, but by then it's likely some of our forwards have moved on as well. It's tough. [/QUOTE]
