I agree, his defence is OK with a high tackle count and missed tackles very low. The next stage of his development should be more metres and maybe an offloading game, but that needs to addressed by the coaching team.
He,s giving more penalties away this season, that could be seen in a positive way though in that he is trying to impose himself more on the game, I think he will have learned something from the recent derby game.
Richards is probably a season behind Thompson, these two I would imagine are nowhere near the finished article.
