I watched a replay of this moment .
I think it is a very harsh criticism.. There are least 3 opposition players between Sailor and Cobbo when he looked for support. He is quick but he ain't Hussain Bolt ...
I think it's a bit each way. He was definitely behind a few Eels, but he also didn't look terribly interested in pushing up in support either. You see really enthusiastic support players in those instances at least try to position themselves where they can be useful. In this case it looked like once the pass wasn't thrown to him, Selwyn decided his part in the play was over so he just cruised along.
This isn't a knew phenomenon, either - I remember an element of disinterest in his last appearance as well. He definitely knuckled down with some hard runs off our own line against the Eels, though, so there was improvement.
