We have shown absolutely no idea how to use him in recent times, he should be an absolute weapon on the flanks, but we see him running inside jinking across the line more often than not. All comes from not making enough metres in the forwards and missing quick PTB's to effectively spread the ball against a defence that isn't set.
That`s true and that is my point.
We have one of the best centres in the league who like I`ve said has had one or two decent touches.
Other than that he hasn`t done much which is a real shame.
Handley in the backs appears to be the only one who has looked something like promising as I feel the "off the cuff" approach suits his style of play as imo he doesn`t play well to a structure as shown in his defence sometimes.
