Quote: Charlie Sheen "42 tackles with only 2 misses, and 77 metres from Sutcliffe. Not bad, and on a far higher level than Ferres''"
You missed off his amount of carries, which is what highlighted why he is a poor selection. 15 carries for s very poor metres per carry rate, and no passes to his centre. Watkins was producing those number of tackles and no misses, but much better AVG, and he wasn’t a back rower.
That said, I agree on backrow his best position, and he is certainly better than Ferres. Although Ferres did come up with a couple of big tackles, I doubt Sutcliffe could have done.
If Agar made a point of him as a good game, then that is the problem. We should be getting far far more from our backrowers in an offensive sense, to come close to saying good game.
