Quote: Barbed Wire "While it’s not worth mega money, his marker defence is absolutely outstanding. I’ve said this a few times over the years, but he has developed a really effective skill. He’s also a keen runner of the ball away from our like. These things don’t add £ to contracts, but they are the things players around you recognise.
The things he needs to practice are the finer elements, excellent centres, and I’m talking Lyon, Gleeson, Gidley, Gasnier et al, can get the ball flat footed, stand up defenders and MAKE a try alone. At present, he needs that half a yard to get his winger away. He’s not alone there, I can’t think of a centre who can do that in the game at the moment.
I can accept the odd mistake like the pass to Widdop instead of inside to Ratchford. Sometimes, when you have “too much” time, you can overthink them.'"
All good points. On pass selection I guess sometimes it’s based on who you hear call?
