The way some of our fans go on about his drop off in form is just thick (usual suspects) his early form in the season was so hard to maintain throughout, his try scoring rate for a back rower was ridiculous. While that may have dropped off, it may have been because opposition coaches became aware and specifically tried to nullify it. He wasn't as bad as some made out. I certainly don't remember him missing tackles or costing us games in the second half of the year.
It's a great player to have signed up again.
Agree with all that.
Haven't heard anyone with a bad word to say about EOC apart from him wanting a more disciplined approach and increasing the number of training nights. IMO we needed to do both to progress.
As a coach you can't be a mate as well.
