Quote: knockersbumpMKII "The thing is he was the 'big' signing before we bagged kelly and bigged up by pretty much everyone on here in the thread that broke the news last year.
people thought he was a great signing/big and powerful/makes tons of metres etc etc.
So with that comes a certain expectation, especially after the big let down of Pritchard who was supposed to smash it in SL but was average far too often and could barely manage 30minutes a game (20 in some).
No-one wants him to fail or not play to what fans would expect him to play at given his credentials but so far he is well short of that.
deleted his public apology regarding his performance too I was reading.'"
The real issue is that we don't get him good, quick ball because no one in the team seems able to pass or to actually run straight at the opposition in order to draw defenders to them. If he got decent ball he'd look a lot better player in atatck (although he is defensively poor from what I've seen). It's why our 2nd rowers rarely make breaks and really needs sorting. Our attack is so slow and ponderous it's painful to watch
