Perry has some qualities superior to any other of our front rows, specifically, the way he dominates the opposition forwards when tackling them. He plays it very well, watching the ref and holding down just enough not to get penalised (if he has an off day on this though, he'll give awaya hotful).He also sucks in a lot of defenders when carrying the ball.
He directs the defenders around him well by being very vocal.
However,
He doesn't make enough yards on the whole.
In high paced matches (like the spankings from Wigan), he looks behind the game and (see above) fatigue appears to cause him to lose his grip on the ptb, giving away silly penalties.
