The criticism Josh gets Michelle is on two fronts. The part you mention but also the part that annoys many of us: ill discipline/suspensions/foul play (tripping/high shots)/penalties/rushing out of the line/sledging/niggling etc. That criticism is all 100% warranted.
2012 was Josh's breakout year. He was fantastic along with Keating. No brainfarts whatsoever. Keating and Reynolds complemented each other perfectly along with Haslers game plan.
He's brainfarts started after last year's SOO series. Hodko's overall game declined after the series.
Hodko has no creativeness and has been a passenger in attack and his D has declined. Because of his lack of creativeness and direction, Reynolds thinks everytime he touches the ball that he has to score or create a try which obviously does not always work, which leads to mistakes and his brainfarts. I blame this all on Hodko. We need a half to share the workload, create opportunities and lead the team around the park so Reynolds can do what he did in 2012 without the expectations he thinks is required from him.
Lichaa, new to the club doing a fantastic job and you can see he will be a leader in the next couple of years. We need a 7 to complete the 3 amigos.
Sad thing is we have got one in Mbye and he is taking the backseat for a crippled halfback.
