Is it just me, or is he running the ball less this year? He seems to run & then gives an x ball or pass early, I don't think I've seen a flick pass yet, I do love the quick inside ball he throws to moltzen though. & his kicking game is a lot better this year
Anyway. Agree or disagree, I'd rather him run a little bit more, not be totally greedy, but take a few risks. What do you think?

I thought he was running the ball and taking on the line way more than last year…. i could be wrong. His biggest improvement by far has been his defense, last 4 games he has made some great one on one tackles, and even though they target him alot (i know he gets good help from lawrence) he is handling it pretty well.

He runs the ball more now even when there's nothing on. Most of the times it is sideways though, when he straightens up he's a big weapon.

Agree, he is running the ball enough, just feel he needs to be more direct

He doesnt run it anywhere near enough for my liking.

I think it has been coached out of him. He is primarily being turned into a ball PLAYER. In the past he was primarily a ball RUNNER with silky ball skills.

He isnt a Darren Lockyer type 5/8th. He is a Brett Kenny type 5/8th. When he runs at the line he looks dangerous. He just needs to do it more.
