I think freeing him of the captaincy has been good for him - it seemed it was a burden that impacted his focus on football. He is a critical cog in the midfield wheel. He breaks packs apart allowing Trac and Clarrie etc to mop up the spills. I just love what he is contributing.
Totally disagree. It was hard to fault our backline as a unit. I think he was on Ryan a lot of the time and beat him comfortably. I just wish he wouldn’t do those dump kicks into dangerous spots.
