Quote: John Gilbert Reds "Selective memories here perhaps. Are we forgetting all of Evalds dropped bombs too? BJB has made 15 errors this season, Evalds has made 12 and played a game less. There really isn't much between them both, in defence and attack.'"
I'm really not trying to have a dig at BJB and I can appreciate Evalds isn't infallible. However, I'd argue that Niall's errors have often come from more difficult kicks, 50/50 challenges with a bigger guy etc. BJB does seem to make a hash of some fairly straight forward kicks and the attempt which he volleyed on Friday which led to Hudds 3rd (?) try was pretty woeful. IMO, Evalds more than punches above his weight/height under the high ball.... I'd suggest the opposite with BJB.
But like I said I really like BJB, I just think he needs serious work on that part of his game as he's a big lad and could be as deadly as a Joel Monaghan/Ryan Hall, certainly from an attacking point of view with kicks.
