A great fullback for us with the right skills at the time.
Safe hands under the high bomb
Read the game well as a sweeper so his defence was solid.
A great extra runner at the line at the right time.
His lack of pace wasnt anywhere near as much of an issue until the last 3/4 years.
But more than ever we are desperate for pace at Fullback, and for me an extra pivot (not a pure runner) as 13s have become runners and less ball handlers.
Just in terms of returning the ball we got away with it when our pack had more go forward - with less go forward in the current pack even from last year we need every yard from the kick return.
If he were to come through now even in his prime he would not be as effective as a fullback for us - the game has changed.
You don't even seem to need really good bomb diffusion skills anymore.
And frankly hes not good enough to be a second row or centre for us next year.
Thank you, you`ve had a good run - time to move on
I suppose he had a good game against Huddersfield as well?
