He has been poor barring one or two highlights.
He has continued to play lateraly this year and teams have figured it out. He essentially cuts off his outside man's space by crabbing across field. Teams just have to hold their line as they rush him and he is nullified.
He hasn't the best supporting cast around him but he is not excused entirely. Some of his decisions in attack and defence have been diabolical. He is a powerful runner of the ball, if he can straighten and put the opposition in two minds, he will be lethal.
I hate comparing players, but look at Thurston play over the years at the Cows. At times, playing with reserve graders, he always managed to shine. Too bad his shoulders gave out from all the weight of the team he had to carry each week.
Gee i always wonder if we gave Thursto a chance (a good chance he would of turned into an alcoholic). He in my opinion will go down as a better player than Lockyer, Johns and Freddo.
