Quote bewareshadows="bewareshadows"I think the fact that the votes have sicknote ahead of Lance shows how much quality people see in Lance.
ie very little. I can name 2 games where he has had an input, apart from that he has shuffled the ball and cut out the space for his centres.
I don't buy the he needs a better 7 arguement either, as others have done better with less around them. The only thing I think a better 7 will do, is hide the fact he is not a great 6.
I was going to give the benefit of the doubt after the Hull KR game as hope springs eternal for me, but after literally watching him stop with the ball several times in the Leeds game, it was obvious 6 is beyond him.
He may be a big price tag but for Saints substitute 9 is his primary role for me.'"
When we go wide, we need to do it well and get the ball to our dangermen (Manu and Lomax) quickly. Lance just slows everything down.
I was never a big, nor fast player, but I could do things right (at my level). Other guys would come and go that should have been better than me, but for their inability to do core functions, such as a simple draw and pass.
not only are hohaia's hand too slow, but he exaggerates this by running sideways, which makes the defence's job even easier. Terrible player.
