Quote: NSW "All the little things, with the ball he’s quite simple. He gives the ball to our play makers fast. He is a physical ball carrier when he does run.
In defensive he is ferocious, most hookers are target for ball carriers but not Brad. He leads our line speed, leads our kick chase, puts pressure on kickers, is immense in the ruck, great in the wrestle, he has a great engine.
Kind of player his teams mates love.
Leeming does flashy stuff being fast but sometimes frustrates the halves by going off on his own adventures at times (especially on the last tackle), also not the best defender (but improved later in the year).
Brad is the glue of our team. He’s miles ahead of where Micky Mac was at age 22.
Lucky to have him.'"
Appreciate the actual response that some people seem incapable of.
I'm suspicious how good a lot of people would think he is if we didn't have French and Field scoring and creating tries for fun.
We had some of that criticism of Harry Smith for a bit.
Also Sam Powell was good at these effort areas, maybe not as good, but I believe he got a lot of stick and people called for more attacking hookers.
