Quote: jonh "When he played in the NRL I always preferred to see him play as a Secondrow when he was at Souths. He seemed to create much more trouble for the opposition running the wider chanel.
Something for me isn't quite right with him or maybe he is just not the player he once was after his time at Wests where he was very average at best . Perhaps the injuries have caught up with him, but for all the effort and enthusiasm he looks to have when taking a drive in he simply lacks impact on collision and rarely wins that contest.
The consequences of this are a slow play the ball and loss of momentum. Hopefully a good long rest and good offseason will see him gain some power back that he seems to have lost in the last few years.
As above tough to judge him due to injuries but needs needs to improve this year if he is to challenge for a place in our pack.'"
You're right. He's played the most of his career as a strong aggressive running SR forward. The WC was the first I've seen of him the front row. I'd like to see Eddie running a little wider at smaller men, I think that's where he'll find more success.
