1000% we seem enamoured with the notion of ‘chaos ball’ out of defence. Hey if your teammates don’t know what you’re going to do with the ball, the opposition certainly won’t!
12 goals, 11 tackles from 7 games (including 2 sub effected)
so he looks a like a goal a game small forward that has a bit of toe. importantly though he actually does appear to attack the goals as a first option. there’s some pretty good moments here
at the very least he looks an upgrade as pure small forward on the ones presently at our disposal
only really guelfi could challange him for scoreboard impact but guelfi isn’t really a pure small forward imo
Lav - nope
Kelly - nope
McKay - iffy but can kick better than he can handball
Martin - shouldn’t be near the backline as bites off way too much
McGrath - panic bombs it
Ridley - tick
Reid - if he ever gets on the field - tick
Redman - needs to find his confidence but he’s a pass
That’s not a good rate of acceptable level kickers from our D line.
Houston is exactly who we need. Will just cost too much unfortunately.
