Someone maybe leaving is not a good reason to hand them an NRL spot. Is Anderson talented yep, is he safe and dependable- not yet. He might never been the safe player.
In his 25 games, he does the big huge things well. Picks up a ball on his feet and runs 100m to score- brilliant. He then kicks the goal too.
But then on the fifth tackle he doesn't contest a bomb and let's it bounce. I will say this, on Sunday he left the ground and took a brilliant bomb under huge pressure so I think he's moving forward on that and he's playing a new position.
So I guess it depends on if you're prepared to take that risk. He's a brilliant natural footballer.
Just some stats for this year:
Runs 94 (13.4 pg)
Metres 990 (141 pg)
Offloads 10 (1.4 pg)
Line breaks 6 (.8 pg)
Tries 4
Goals 5/6.
Fans say take the risk, then when he drops two bombs the internet will blow up with he should never have been picked- who is this nuffy.
Personally I'd take the risk, I love that type of footballer.
