I think he is still worried his body will give way and it's holding him back Hopefully, the medicos and specialists keep checking on his previous injuries and are reassuring him the worst is behind him When he begins to trust his body more, the grit and white line fever will return If you had told me 6 months ago he'd play most of the season, I would not have believed it |

Good post 99 agree just needs continuity of games and confidence in his body Only played about 30 games all up Is starting to develop nicely -will really start impacting when he hits about 50 game mark Yes makes some mistakes but needs to continue to take the game on |

He doesn't show any fear when he wants to attack and break lines. Its his decision making I see as the problem. He's running into trouble too much, but I guess he will learn about his limitations. Maybe its like frank suggests, he will be good after 50 games. He is still young and raw. Paul Bower was a pick 20 or something around that. He played nearly 100 games. Because we were desperate to develop the young, let alone the cupboard being bare, he too was gifted games. He ran into trouble a lot, and continued to do so when he passed 50 games. I hope Willo doesn't do that. We all live in hope. |
