[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1022874, member: 72409"] Just googled it and first thing to come up was him trashing rob howley on 2017 tour as being completely useless and ignored LOL Right so basically SOB says he's got a lot of skills - this is fair, pretty universally accepted, though as Ive also said, couldnt give a monkeys about my opensides 25 yd miss pass or kicking ability. Is he good over the ball. Yes, he's an international. Is he near the best? No Is he a decent carrier? I'd argue average bar space to run into in wider channels. Is he the best? No Is he a solid tackler? Yes. Is he a dominant tackler, No. Actually he loses ground too often for me whenever there's a modicum of footwork involved SOB is better at all of these than him Warburton was comfortably better, hence why he was picked ahead of him CurryHill are Better Watson is better Dan Leavy fit is better Who gives a monkey about his outstanding skill set when its not his damn role. Its a bonus that he's got the skills to do it, but no more [/QUOTE]
