Quote: nkpom "Very talented player that blossomed under Wayne Bennett's guidance and a game plan written around him, resulting in him playing Origin for NSW.
Things haven't gone so well for the Saints since Benny's departure, and the retirement of Ben Hornby from the 7 role has set them back further.
He has a great left foot kicking game but needs to be behind a dominant pack to give him the room to move in. Has a reputation for poor defence but I've always thought he's better than his reputation. He is ALWAYS the scapegoat for the Saints' frailties, and there are just more of them now than 3 years ago!
Think of a left footed Paul Deacon and you're not far off.'"
Well he's going to be playing behind the least dominant pack in the comp, so...
