Not great but not as bad as I thought it was when you consider there will be games in there he simply wasn't selected rather than being injured.
It's a concern for me, but I think it's a gamble worth taking given he brings things that the squad was definitely missing.
When fit he was a first choice pick, he’s been a very good player for Wakey, you’ll not find many fans with a bad thing to say about him. But recently he has started missing more games due to various injuries, seemed to regularly be a case of play one, go off inured in one, miss one. And his game time in the ones he plays has noticeably reduced in the the last couple of seasons. Dropping down a level might enable him to manage his body better and mean you get the best out of him. If you can keep him on the field he’ll do a very good job for you.
