Yea, look I agree...
But lets be honest:
Nofo
Tupou
A bunch of no names.
Starford Toa (when he has been on the wing)
All were COMPLETELY HOPELESS in defense on the wing.
Completely Hopeless. Yes we can fault Skelton, but our Center/wing defense has improved out of sight in 2025/2026. Skelton is better then all of the above on wing defense, including To'a.
I can't express how much Turuva and Skelton have upgraded our backline. Had we had a real forward pack in 2025 and not just Terrell May we would have made the 8. I can't express how much upgrading our defense, and particularly our backline defense has helped our team and Skelton is a part of that.
That said, maybe Skelton isn't good enough.. But he is a 7/10 when we have had so many 2/10 defensive wingers.
