Quote: Gotcha "Not sure where you are getting poor defence from. His defence was actually excellent last season.
I don't think he deserves a spot, as others have said, but having seen his defensive effort last season, a repeat of that certainly would not be a reason to omit him.
I would have said his ball retention, and ability to do extra minutes, are a bigger concern.'"
As usual we must agree to differ, I think he slow and ponderous in defence and his lateral movement is poor.
At least we agree about his stamina, which I also think impacts on his defence.
