[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 585533, member: 55446"] No, the problem is his unforced errors. Dropping uncontested high balls, not receiving passes well etc. I don't know if it's accurate about him, but it's something that I noticed on the few times I've watched him play. And what ragerancher says is right. Conceding possession with a knock-on is effectively worth 30-40m of territory. You can carry 60+ m a game on a regular basis, but if you keep dropping the ball, then you're coming to the detriment of your team in the territory battle. In terms of him playing worse towards the end of the season, I bet some of that was down to the Wasps turning to mush at the end. Same happened with Glos the season before. Classy and top 4/top 6 contenders for three-quarters of the year, then imploding in the final stretch. His runs will have been less supported, the platform given less effective etc. I wouldn't worry about that, I bet he gets on really well at the Sarries. [/QUOTE]
