[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1050456, member: 59968"] Yep. That’s where I was going with the Farrell comparison. Routine passes or kicks pretty much any test 10 could execute become world class in Farrell’s hands. Much like when solid graft becomes Herculean when it’s AWJ. My pleasure. I didn’t say he deserves to be dropped. I simply questioned his status as an automatic starter. I’d regard a ‘grafting type’ of player as essential, but as [USER=72205]@ncurd[/USER] made reference to with Robshaw, there are players who do the graft and more. I’d argue Henderson offers graft as well as much more carrying ability. However, I can accept the argument that he’s a bit inconsistent whereas AWJ is the model of consistency. AWJ’s ‘more’ is probably the leadership factor so I’m OK with him being there, I just don’t buy the hyperbole around him. [/QUOTE]
