Quote the stella kid="the stella kid"Yes can't understand why he gets so much criticism on here.
People in the game obviously rate him hence his call up for the knights.'"
He gets criticism because people want more.
Whilst i accept that he is still learning his position he is a very hard worker if you compare him to other back rowers he has a way to go to get to there standard.
He works hard and puts in a lot of tackles but he really needs to be a bit more dominant in the tackle making one on one tackles and really dominating his opponent. ala Westwood / Grix
He also tends to run very direct rather than seeking out the gaps or targetting the smaller man which bearing he was a centre with some good pace is dissappointing. ala Hock or Farrell.
He IMHO needs to be more aggressive and assertive. If you compare him to Cudjoe this year you can see Cudjoe has become more arrogant, confident and aggressive ( he has definitely put a bit of niggle in to his game).He is much better for it.
Bruno needs to follow that lead from Cudjoe.
It may well be that with a year under his belt, more training, time in the Knights squad that will come. Also playing behind 4 big props will help his game.
I am happy with him but think he has got a lot more to give and to really kick on
