[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 951991, member: 65365"] I enjoyed it too id say joc had a lot of improvement left in him when he went to Europe so it’s hard to argue that he improved more over there than he would have in Australia. I’m still not convinced after one game that he has improved hugely anyway. Beale was just more under the radar beforehand and criminally underrated. He has always been one of Australia’s best and I’d actually say he’s just less consistent now. He was the standout player in the Waratahs team when they won the super rugby ***le, for instance, not that that’s test level but still. Actually in general when good players go overseas they get more visibility so more people say they’re good then people look out for their goodness more, invoking confirmation bias. In saying that, gone are the days that you can guarantee a back who has gone to Europe will come back a worse player. [/QUOTE]
