Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "The try by Joshua Hodgson showed the wisdom of Wayne Bennett's selection of the Canberra hooker.
People need to stop the Wayne Bennett bashing. The former policeman is in the Clint Eastwood mould, and he certainly knows what he is doing.'"
He’s the most boring and one dimensional player in the squad. Arguably been the least effective player on the tour. He doesn’t do anything to attract defenders before making a pass, all of his teammates hang back when he gets to dummy half because they just expect a straight up pass from DH or three steps and a pass. We are never on the front foot when he’s on the pitch. He’s a safe, consistent, boring, ineffective player.
He doesn’t create space, he doesn’t attack space, he doesn’t create panic, he doesn’t create confusion as the defence know exactly what he’s going to do, he doesn’t create positive play. He’s just safe.
