His missus is only a couple of months of birthing.

Perhaps he is not getting enough sleep and eating too much bad **** LOL

Too much wedding cake in the preseason.

That, or he was second to the ball all night

This seems a little damned if he does/damned if he doesn't to me.

Doesn't tackle and he's a giant defensive liability. Does tackle and it's coz he's behind the game.

I think the call about him trying to change his game to suit what the coaches want is a decent take, I also think he's put on some size which probably takes some time for him to adjust too.

Having said that, his issue wasn't how he played before but more how we set up around him, adding Durham and Perkins around the ball helps cover him when he goes ball hunting, balance looks ok with those guys in there together.

He'll have a big game soon and get into the groove again, I'm sure his recent injuries have hurt his confidence also.

It was abit of a piss take comment. The numbers are good to see.. the jogging around with little care doesn’t pass the eye test for me atm but img hoping it’s match fitness

I think we have to give him a bit of time to get back upto speed
