I accept that he isn't as good as say Clarke or the lad playing in Australia and dare say a few others. However if he was to play he wouldn't look out of place. Shame for him he never really got his head together in the past but great for us because by rights we shouldn't really have such a classy player - without him we are far weaker.
Have to say he was another player the coaching brigade on here binned before he'd played a game for us - we never learn on here. No idea if you were one of them.
Yep fully agree, the reason he plays for us is he's an international class hooker who is equally as likely to spend a third of the season suspended ala Gareth Hock or TimSmith.
