He had a similar flat period that year too, he just seemed to hit a wall like he is now. It wouldn't let me quote it- no button but I wrote this in 2017 have a look at the data.
I'm not sure if I'd call it a flat period, I just think teams have cottoned onto his weakness under the high ball. There were signs of it last year, but teams preferred to turn Oates around then target Isaako. It was a lot easier keeping the Broncos inside their half if they didn't have to contend with an Oates carry on tackle two.
I'm not convinced Jamayne would be better than Darius at the back, but I am convinced he can play his best footy there and that he isn't an NRL standard winger.
