Quote Knocker_White="Knocker_White"I don't think any of us take joy in singling a player out and he's not the only one who has errors in his game, but I just don't think he has the ability to perform consistently well at this level. The most frustrating part is its basic skills that keep catching him out. Some of the stuff he came up with against York, you'd be frustrated watching U12s do it. He's a great athlete no doubt, but what good is that if you can't do the fundamentals of the game well?
I also don't think it helped having Emmanuel at centre on Sunday and I'm not keen on that particular experiment now it's had a couple of outings. At least Ethan seems that bit more reliable both sides of the ball and can get through a tonne of defensive work.
I'm trying not to hammer the bloke too much, as a player he no doubt wants to be at the highest level possible and we were willing to put a contract in front of him. It must be tough too, knowing you're going to get targeted every game. Ultimately though we need more from his wing slot and I guess that is part of the motivation for brining Whare in.'"
To be fair to him, after a completely anonymous start to last season, and he was by no means the only one, he picked up and was one of the players who drove through that patch of last season that helped us stay up. This season- a mixed bag. I always think top draw winger is a real plus, but we are where we are. If we can’t get them to come to the club ....are any coming through the Academy?
