[QUOTE="j-dawg, post: 1024070, member: 41107"] It doesn’t say enough for me about Billy’s game other than he was in the receiving position a lot and ran it back - which, assuming kicking is out of the equation, is his only option. I’d like to know how many metres he made once the run up was complete and I have a very vivid memory of a very long run up for something like a metre, which was a huge anti climax considering that is 100% of his offering. Granted, he was involved more in this game but I was always taught 8’s should offer more than strong carrying, that’s what we have props and locks for and that’s why Brad thorn was shifted from 8 to lock when he switched to union. As a side note, it’s usually touted that Billy at his best sucks in defenders which is true, but most defensive systems teach tackling as a three man job anyway, with ‘reloading’ quickly being the defenders job.
