This is an absolutely spot on assessment of NDS.

The only points I'd add are;
1. 2016 has also been the first time in his 15 year career where his kick to handball to ratio has dipped below par. This may have been a coaching/game plan directive which could change if he was to go to another club and be given back his license to kick it. He may not be kicking it as frequently because of the hammy. It may also be a combination of both...

(On a side note: In 2016, I'd love to know the stat on how many times he's looked to/gone to kick it but at the last second opted to flick off a questionable handball to either a) someone under the pump, b) someone in a worse position to himself or c) someone who subsequently got caught holding the ball.)

2. He remains an exceptional kick out from full back. Any team who currently has leg speed and has struggled to clear their defensive 50 would be silly not to consider him.

WBD might be a nice fit. List age profile could accommodate his age, list leg speed could accommodate his lack of, they are in the all important 'premiership window' have at times struggled to cleat the defensive arc.

Dogs wouldn't be keen. Murphy back resolves our kick ins.
