There are a couple of "part of the furniture" players which Blease and Arthur need to get their head around for the good of the team. Cam is a good player, he is a solid clubman rather than international class IMO, and that's fine except when so much of our play goes through him. He slows us up too much. I still think Gannon might make it at 13, concussions aside - we also have a couple of loose forward potentials in the system who are very talented.
Smith is a good lad and he does his work really well, but I think his role needs to change in the team in all honesty.
Read an interesting article where George Williams said Burgess is like one of the lads who the players respect a lot who is there to put an arm around the players and if the players say they are lagged after a hard/physical game he is quite happy to cancel training and let them recover.
The brains behind the moves and structure is down to the other coaches at the club.
Imagine if news got out that Rohan Smith had that philosophy there would be an uproar.
Not that I was a fan of Smith just trying to justify Burgess`s coaching methods seem a bit soft.
