Quote: Baboon "You could see the influence that Gleeson had over Sharp when he was here. Esp in positioning and he was always talking to him, keeping him in the loop so to speak. Even Lynn played better on the Wing with Berrigan as his centre. Martin is a fantastic signing. We've improved 2 positions by signing him.'"
Exactly. Will's confidence and consequential staggering transformation has been nurtured by him knowing he's not going to be left high and dry alone. Martin provides communication, reassurance and most importantly a reliable presence. Gleeson provided the same, as would any competent experienced centre.
We haven't got a spare one of those, though, and I worry madly if I think Martin may have taken an injury.
We actually saw the same scenario when Briscoe was slated when he first got called up to England and was left flailing by himself with no support from his centre.
