Quote: Magic Superbeetle "
Despite being top for breaks, tackle busts and carries, he was bottom for metres made. For me, it means 90% of the time he is completely ineffective. He was also bottom for tackling (though Saints are now dead last for tackles made this season) and the second worst tackle completion % after BMM. Interestingly, he has conceded the second fewest penalties out of the 4.

For me that doesn't say a lot for the rest of the team, Walmsley, Richards and Sav are not playing well this year, Greenwood and Thompson have only just started coming up with expected performances, Tasi is still under review. In my opinion its Amor, Vea and LMS who are the consistent performers so far and doing the longer workload minutes.
I think it was way back in 2012 when LMS was a waste of space, we lost James Graham to OZ and our pack couldn't take up the workload rate, LMS was expected to take that extra load but he didn't and became a "high five showboater", as St Pete says he picked up a bit when he was under contract review. Since then he was nominated to one of the "senior player" responsibility roles and in my view he has been doing OK with the exception of his discipline moments, I think LMS is the least of our worries and is one for future review at a later date.
