Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 3354183, member: 8190"] Going in to bat for my boy here. We all know Paix is a good attacking dummy-half, but so far all I see him do is run. Haven’t seen him do anything else He also shies away from defensive work. Now does that make him ‘smarter’ so he has energy to attack? Perhaps, but it also burdens forwards with doing that work so he has to keep that attack up for him hiding in defence to remain a net positive for the team. Also, Paix had the fortune of coming on to the field against a third-string side or teams that have been worn down in the past in NRL. Give him a season or two getting slogged for 80 and I think you’d find he’d end up in a similar situation to Jake, who was the same when he came in over Macca. It’s funny how no one’s had a go at Paix for getting held up the first time. Guarantee if it was Jake he’d be drawn and quartered on here. Sure Paix did get over eventually - against a single marker in an 18yo defensive line with 5 mins to go in a trial. Any player could’ve scored that one. No one praised Jake for his constant readiness for offloads and that shoelaces catch-and-pass but hey, people see what they want to see I guess [/QUOTE]
