Quote: Nothus "Personally I'm not looking for a bulky loose forward. I know some teams use them as an extra prop to make drives etc but I would rather have somebody more elusive in attack, almost acting like a third pivot, and then just a decent tackling machine with plenty of stamina when it comes to the defensive side of things.'"
I'm with you on this one. I thought Peterson had decent pace and went back the utube vid to check. What is noticeable is the increase in pace between the early SL clips and the Aussie clips, his speed out of the line to flatten kickers and to make tackles is impressive. Its easy to see how he got a second year with the Cutters. and the vid probably has more clips of him tackling than attacking. He weighs 5 kg more than AOB who did 722 tackles last season, more than Sidlow, with a missed tackle ratio of 6%.
