Firslty, how can he be over rated when nobody goes around saying he should be doing this, that or the other? Even McNamara didn't rate him, given that this time last year he looked to be pushed out of the Bulls. If anything, he is underated.
As far as pace of the mark he must be the fastest on the Bulls books and once of the quickest in SL, pure pace alone is an attribute that makes somebody worth rating in it's self, just look at Martin Offiah, couldn't tackle, couldn't pass, couldn't control a game, but boy could he run. Oh and just for the record, I am not rating Dave Halley in the same League as Offiah!!!

Halley might be lacking in one important respect.
In the vein of past Bulls wingers he does lack a definitive hair style
TV and Leslie- voluminous, Reardon - minimum. McAvoy- coiffered.
Come on David....

Hair is overrated.

More players should be well groomed like Nero. They should take a leaf out of Fieldens book and take better care of themselves using male cosmetics. They are AMbassadors of the game after all and we are competing with soccer stars who spend thousands on makeovers and the like.

And I don't just mean shaved heads that make them look like thugs (or in Deacons case an ageing Boy George).

Pretty fair analysis I think.

I don't think you have to be strong to be a dangerous broken field runner though. Surely pace is more important?
