I did.
But when it happen again, again and again and again.....time to call a spade a spade mate.
If your contested defending is the worst at a club that sits last on the ladder and your not a kid, you better have a decent weapon somewhere else. He doesn't.
Awful disposal particularly by foot and bloody unreliable and generally turns it over even when running free without much pressure with ball in hand. Yes he is proven to be a very decent 2nds player but that's it.
The pace and quick decision making required in the seniors simply doesn't suit him. I will be disappointed if we haven't upgraded him and Mullet at years end.
All I'm saying is that we shouldn't be judging many players based on much. I remember in 2012 which is a season which mirrors this one for sheer dumb luck with injury, that many a competent footballer looked much worse due to circumstance beyond their control.
I'm willing to see how he goes this week where he can actually play a key position role rather than a pocket or flanker.
