Great post.
The squaring up of the defence creates the space and coz his such a big body, he'll always attract multiple defenders to him.
If Adam continues that form, Daine will be one of the biggest benefactors.
Key stat for me - Avg play the ball speed 2.6sec.
While his overall mtrs weren't massive, he clearly doesn't get dominated hence why his PTB are so fast.
Allows the halves to play on the front foot.
Benefit of having Moses type is coverage for multiple positions. So don't think you can carry a second hooker, but rather a utility that can play hooker.
Keep in mind Mybe came on as cover for Laurie.
Don't think it's purely a Lids thing. The modern game needs a 2nd hooker to take advantage of laziness around the ruck and to maintain crisp ball play. While Mbye didn't run, his service was good.
