Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2325148, member: 1764"] The argument I and ning in particular have been making is that his form has been well below par much more than "the past 6 weeks". I'd go as far as to say he's been below par all season, and yes I give him some special consideration for the fact he basically didn't get an offseason due to his ankle injury he suffered in he finals last year. In the 8 weeks leading into the finals last year his form was at about the level I would expect from a chief playmaking halfback more often than not. Unfortunately prior to that, the previous 12-odd weeks were horrible from him (and yes, influenced as well by the form slump of the rest of the team in that period). In 2008, his first 3 games were fantastic, then he was well below par for most of the season, again reviving around finals time. If he can pick up his form again leading into the finals this year, wonderful, that's what we need from him. But unless he can find consistency next year, particularly midseason, then I would be asking serious questions about his tenure at the club. Especially if Lockyer is wanting to play on beyond 2011, and Ben Hunt continues to develop. But again it's a thread about one thing becoming about Wallace...albeit linked intrinsically due to the halfback's role as an attacking kicker, and a bomb being part of that arsenal. Wallace does have a good cross field kick when he's in form. He's given plenty of good ones to Folau in the past couple of seasons. He does have a tendency to kick it too deep, as does Lockyer (less frequently), or not high enough to give Folau enough time to get through the inevitable obstacle course the opposition creates for him these days.
