Sure, I don't think anyone expects it to be fixed tomorrow, but commentary is warranted and it's upto him to show he can go to the next level.
It's between the ears that's the problem.
I'm simply using Slater as an example of supremely talented player that needed to learn to curb his natural instincts in favour of a better team result. Not that Reece is actively choosing to be a hero in spite of the team, simply that he needs to think more than just the next tackle option...
The problem is rocks and diamonds will only get you so far in the end. If he wants to evolve to the next level, he needs to learn when to press the go button and when to hold fire. Slater was the same really, and no one ever said get rid, people just said, yeah he needs to be a bit safer at the...
what? I don't really care if Reece scores 50 tries a game or scores 0. If he does his job and helps us win and minimizes his errors, great. We don't need him to be a highlights reel. If that means playing conservatively, great, team comes first.
That's exactly the problem I think at present. He doesn't need to win games single handedly. He just needs to play his part and pick his moments. He's overawing himself.
I think there has been a little bit of glossing over. I think Mason is right in his podcast that if it was a player with a slightly lesser profile, there'd be multiple crosshairs on him. He does get a little bit of leeway but it's fast running out.
