His reads on fullbacks in defense has started to improve but he does ball watch and if he doesn’t come up he is often left in a pickle & looks lost. His running style is interesting and maybe because he doesn’t have speed off the mark he gets beat, but geez at times he looks like he is struggling to keep up with the game when defending. Big reason why he shouldn’t be captain just yet. We need him to mature the right way not be rushed (he struggles with unstructured play).
Let him have the off season and see how we goes.
This is his 1st full year in the front line he will learn a heap and maybe even put some size on & be fitter for next year during pre season. We are in good shape with AD in the squad.
Prob hasnt helped that he hasnt had a consistent position in his career here or at Souths. Need to put him at 5/8 and leave him their. Hard to learn defence when you are moving from fullback, centre, five eight
Fully agree - in saying that he has to step up and own the position. Next year with Hastings coming who is a competitive player will want to start as well. Let’s hope AD can really own the 5/8th role.
There’s nothing wrong with playing SOO or for your country as the best centre in the world?
But all that will be looked at next year?
