About that..
Dunno if the comparisons I make in my own head with our recent wingers are colouring my judgement but, I decided a season ago, he just doesn't have that something that sets him apart.
He's competent, knows his job and does it well, but I keep expecting him to burn the touchline up when given half a yard, or to be in the air challenging for and winning more than his fair share of kicks in the corners, or to be a monster stepper kick returner, just something, anything, he's none of those.
He still has an air of fragility despite training with a full time squad.
He's dependable and a fair finisher but ultimately isn't outstanding in any facet.
Sounds like your writing a guy off before he even gets to play a single SL game.
Lads scored 110 in 109 games. Hes finished try’s with little space and from distance when put in space. He doesn’t miss tackles hardly and has held up very well against Hall and got the best of Senior in the past two games.
It all points that he can step up fine to me. I’m not expecting him to be a top winger in SL but he will defend well and score given the opportunities.
You look at Marshall at Wigan. He is none of those you listed and he just has the ability to be in the right place and finish chances Wigan create. Not every winger has to be a freak in in a certain area and most imo that do have something extraordinary about them tend to have a part of their game that is below par.
