Ligi is till a good player. I think he'd be far more effective been used off the bench next season in 20-25 minute spells.
I don't think it's helped this season him been kept on the pitch for so long. ( he must have played the full 80 minutes in the majority of games he's played.) I'd argue that a lof of his indiscipline has come under fatigue due to too many minutes on the pitch.

fully agree. He's our 2nd best prop. Adds more to the team than ashworth and aydin. He's been overplayed and played out of position a lot. If we keep him to middles and rotate him properly he'd be far more effective and make less errors in defence. Most of the penalties and cards look like fatigue play a part to me.
He does need to stop with the stupid errors at times though and pick and choose his passes better

I don't mind his proactiveness, and his willingness to offload. I don't particularly mind the errors, but this year, we cannot defend an error, so they are magnified. Next year, we should be more solid, and be able to defend an error
We topped the charts for offloads this season (I'm as surprised as the rest of you! ) so if we can get Ligi to be a bit smarter with knowing when to offload and build on the second phase play, then both Ligi and our offload game itself will be an asset.

With him being one of the most experienced players he probably feels he has to take more responsibility to sort the mess out that's surrounding him. His indiscipline is probably due to frustration.

he does some stupid ones though. I can't remember who it was a few weeks back when he intercepted the ball near our line, made a 30 metre break then threw the ball away. Stupid stuff like that need cutting out
