[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 473458, member: 13739"] Fair enough. Henson has always had the ability to be a great fullback. His huge boot certainly suits the position. I do find that he sometimes get's caught in a couple of minds when running from fullback though, and he ultimately lacks just a little bit of pace (although he's often moving faster than he looks). Henson's distribution and defensive organising is probably two of his biggest strengths, and they aren't utilized from fullback. Have I missed something in Gavin Evans. Burnell describes him as the 'biggest unsung hero' in the Blues squad, yet I rarely see him do much. 22 tackles is a good haul, but not many are destructive tackles, they're all rather passive. When Evans plays, Laulala tends to have to do everything from 13, crash ball and all. Gavin Evans has never impressed me. he's not a terrible player, but he's just a bit meh. I'd say Hewitt is a bigger unsung hero, because he's genuinely had some very good games for the Blues. [/QUOTE]
