Quote St pete="St pete"It's ok sayin he does 27 tackles a game cox he prob does.
He's prob the best 3rd man tackle machine in the world.'"
It's difficult for me to match up the quotation above with the one below:
Quote St pete="St pete"It's coz I don't think he likes the hard work anymore. He's great when we are racking points up but when it's tough he goes missing....
...IMO he is gettin worse each week. It's shame really as I like him but he gone big headed and thinks he better than he is.'"
I think you're right in saying he hasn't quite lived up to his potential - I thought he was going to be absolutely top drawer - but in your original post you imply that this is because he is self-absorbed and lazy, which is wholly unfair in my opinion.
It seems to me that because he's a good looking lad people tend to dismiss him as a feckless poser as soon as he has a couple of mediocre games.
