Seems to have been treated harshly this season by Saints after a couple of poor displays.
Quick compared to what exactly?
He has a bit of pace but calling him "quick" would be overdoing it a little.
And to put the record straight, he was hardly turfed out after just a couple of howlers - his defence had been steadily deteriorating for an entire year and was costing us on average at least a try a game towards the end of last season. He very nearly cost us getting to the GF altogether a few times against the Pies... All that happened in the first part of this season was that that downward spiral continued and there was no option left but to relieve him of further duties once his contribution started regularly approaching the minus 12-15 points a game mark.
There's still a chance he could make a top SL player in the current talent-free climate anyway if he sorts his head out and gets back the rock-like solidity he started out with in his first year. I'm hoping some SL games will do him the power of good and get him back on track.
