^^ how do you run as a half though? the job is to direct the team and distribute the ball.
he looks dangerous taking when he has a run/hit up around the middle of the ruck, which i guess is similar to that of a fullback.
hellman hit the nail on the head when proving what an ignorant statement the above is.
thurston has proven for years that you can run the ball at 7, while there have been a huge number of running halfbacks in the top echelon for decades.
to name a few:
steve mortimer
gary freeman
tom raudonikis
allan langer
mark murray
stacey jones
slippery morris
ivan henjak
geoff toovey
des hasler
ewan mcgrady
craig polla-mounter
all dominant halves who were known far more for their running games than their organising from the no. 7 position.
and currently benji-clone shaun johnson does his best when running the ball while wearing the 7 jersey.
all old players… the game has changed alot.. its faster.. there is no where near as much time for the 6 & 7 with the ball as there used to be.
very ignorant assessment there ellery.
what about thurston & johnson?
