You're joking, right? He goes off in the Grand Final and we fall apart. His defence is excellent. It's the one element of his game that has been consistent throughout his time here. He was growing in attack as last season progressed too but unfortunately his injury appears to have undermined him. That and we have reverted to not passing to the right, so he and his winger have been deprived of a lot of opportunities.
Sometimes, his defence has looked excellent.I remember last year when Whelham was terrorising Gaskell's eveytime he got the ball, but one time he came up against Shenton and tried it, you knew 100% he was not going to get the out side. This part of his defence seemed very robust until Turner did him earlier this year.
He has, however, missed a handful of god awful tackles by flapping with his arms (the Hoffman one standing out) which stick in peoples minds and he can rush up a every so often.
