I've just took a look at a sample of 6 games from last season to see what the impact this had upon his stats. In all honesty, it's not a lot. He often had a low metre count with a very low average per carry.
Fair enough. At the end of the day he's not a TP/Sia/Westwood who'll eat tacklers and chew up yards and judging him on that criteria still isn't entirely fair. He's a tackling machine who gives us clever running (when we have the halves to make use of it), good options in our kicking game and backup for the halves. With a team full of just Sias, Manus and TPs instead of the Wilkins, Flannerys and Flanagans, as exciting as it may be to watch, we'd struggle to win many of the big 'uns. For me he's still invaluable to the overall makeup of the side.
