Quote: Sacred Cow "Agreed. Although our style and quality of play hardly helps them I don’t think any of our current fit wingers are what you’d call natural finishers. They seem to lack that instinct that the better wingers have to sniff out a chance and its correct they are certainly not the quickest around. Even Kershaw that you mentioned as probably the quickest seems to have lost half a yard since his injury, although that could be due to what seems to me bulking himself up a little too much. Style wise he’s morphing into a modern day David Jones.
It speaks volumes that we are a third of the way through the season and none of our wingers have scored a try yet!'"
I like Kershaw though as he gets through some solid work, you always get 100% and he’s very workmanlike. His selling point is his yardage gain and carries. We need to find a way to give him some space though. He has enough pace to see him score from a reasonable distance out. I do agree though that we lack a winger who has ability to sniff out a try.
If we were to end up in the championship Kershaw would be one of the first players I’d like us to tie down. He’s solid at this level but in the championship he would certainly be amongst the top wingers in the comp. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
