Could be either, but if we're continually losing the hitouts and his position is as that defensive mid then he's not getting the opportunity of spreading and getting his hands on the ball, this is noticeable in some of our losses where he's had high tackle numbers. As #RunningBounce said "more a 'see ball carrier, get ball carrier'" type of role.
Would be handy to see who was the ruck in those wins and how many hitouts to advantage they had as opposed to the losses. One good thing though is that we should have a much better ruck setup next year (injuries aside) that might let him use those skills (delivering i50) to a much more consistent level.
