Talk about needing to pick up the phone.. This is one of those situations for sure. how much shopping around is going to be done behind the scenes, the true colours are the same, just they are acknowledging that there is no pot of money to rival our foolish contract.
This, or just a quick hands pass one or 2 defenders wider
His ball playing has come along way this season, to the point of almost over doing it toward the end. He’s not quite on Patty’s level yet as Patty is a bit more fluid when passing and digs deeper into the line. One thing I do wrap Kev for is how impressive the ball playing has been in the forwards. Another preseason to iron out the kinks and it could be a real thing of beauty.
I would just like to see him coming off the back fence and getting some beast in his game. The ball play can come after he has sent people spinning like ten pins.
We overdo it imo, if every forward is passing the ball no one is hitting it up. We play better when we keep it simple & straight up the guts and leave the ball playing to the playmakers. Too many cooks and all that.
I think we were overdoing it when Patty was suspended, because the rest of the forwards couldn't find the right balance between run and pass.
Yup, these 2 along with Willison should get more game time and be given priority based on their availability. Only problem with this group is -- staying healthy. Hopefully all those injury concerns gets sorted out for their own good and self belief in the off season and all of them have a very good season next year.
The exercise will have been a reckoning for him. He should know now that no other club will pay him more than what he's on now. Maybe that's an incentive.
And to think his biggest strength is his consistency!
