Quote: DHM " Your criticism of Ablett gives away your club bias as he was obviously strong on defence, tidy and comfortable with the ball. He was never going to get quality ball from that half back pairing in those conditions to attack with. With a little pace he would be, by some distance, the best all around English centre we have.
Chase's attack consists of desperately trying to do something himself, when he's run around for 5 minutes looking for space that doesn't exist then he thinks about maybe he should give it to a teamate.

That's the glaring problem though.....Ablett just doesn't have the pace.
As for 'Chase's attack', substitite the name Burrow in there instead and it would read pretty much the same
However, nitpicking aside (Ablett has all the other skills to be a top club, if not international, centre ....and Burrow does at least have the knack of at times devastatingly breaking that first line of defence for him to be excused 'running around').....I wholeheartedly agree with ALL you have written. Sad indictment on the game really.
