He has always been good in attack, it's his defence that let's him down. The worst thing about it is it's an easy fix, it's a technique issue. He plants his feet early than leans sideways (depending which way the ball carrier goes) and only uses his upper body strength in the tackle, with your legs not set underneath you that is never going to be good enough in first grade.
"I understand where your coming from Angry but I still think we'd be better off using that roster spot for someone who will take that opportunity and prove they belong. He has a poor commitment level and professionalism."

If he can defend like tonight then yes.
For the hair alone
He is playing for a contract. 1 year deals is the only thing I would consider and I still lean towards no
Would be ok with a 1-2 year deal yeah. Definitely worth keeping if he's happy to stick around
always handy to have some depth in the pack he'd at least come off the bench once we got sua

Bingo. The planting of his feet is his biggest issue. I've seen him have some fantastic defensive games yet whe he's bad he's very bad
1 year deal MAX
Too hot and cold, great game tonight though
I did notice that he ran back into the defensive line, something he hasn't been doing. He usually stays on the ground then walks back.
Yes, imo... Two reasons.
1 - He's one of our best forwards in attack, if not the best. Just keep working on his defence.
2 - Until we prove as a club we can actually replace players, we need to keep everyone.
