He was also a woeful defender in his early days but he went away and worked hard on it and got better. If he was starting his career today, the Kennel would be screaming for him to be dropped or shipped off to Super League. He is a great example of a player who just needs some time in first grade to find his feet and be comfortable enough to own the team.
I hope we show patience with Meaney and Cogger and let them find their feet in the NRL. These guys aren't going to be picking up 3 Dally M points when they first start.
