[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 794170, member: 73592"] Has been overly maligned as a player (including by myself) for his first few seasons at Bath - largely because he seemed to be selected for his captaincy rather than being one of our best locks - especially as his on-field captaincy appears to be pretty weak. However, his last 2-3 years he upped his personal game, and became picked on (seeming) merit and became pretty core to what we were trying to do. There will always be question marks about some of the claims made about him, from what could be seen in the pitch. The players and coaches loved him as a leader... but he never seemed to rally the troops or influence the ref. A thinker of a captain... who seemed prone to brain farts. He was a real line-out technician... in charge of the worst line-out in the league. An athletic lock... who didn't seem to get around the pitch all that well. I fully believe that he's a good leader and a thinker who would make a good coach; but as a player... he took a long time to really earn his place on the field. [/QUOTE]
