Quote: Burtons Forearm "Somebody's judgement is clouded.
Regardless of his bigotry he's a liability on the pitch and an average player full of errors. He can only dream of doing things Dixon can. When has the bigot been in the top ten try scorers....ever? Dixon makes defenders look foolish.
Don't be fooled by tub thumpers who run about hitting people. Apparent effort can hide a lack of ability.'"
Other than the slightly embarrassing way that you insist on addressing him as 'the bigot', you're ignoring the impact that someone can have purely by firing up those around them. Cockayne gives the team a lift with the way he plays. IMO he isn't good enough to play in the 17 but disliking him is clouding your judgement about the gulf between him and Dixon, it's really not that great.
Yes Dixon terrifies defenders when he gets them squared up and he can be a match winner. Let's not lose sight of reality though, he's not Jaryd Hayne.
