If cogger starts We still don't score more than 12 points . Our attack isn't much better with cogger at this point of the season. On the flip side with Lewis his defence saves 2 or 3 tries a game. We can't score points with or without him , but with him we are a better defensive unit.
We literally scored more than 12 points in Coggers last two games with him providing the key plays so that proves your first point wrong. We have also conceded a fuck load of points with Lewis in the side at times so that also counters your other point.
Lewis is hardly this magic fix, yes he can be relied upon to make one on one tackles close to the line far more than any other half in the game, but it's not as if he's not making poor reads at times and finding himself out of position. Just for example he is responsible for more line breaks being conceded than fucking Holland who gets smashed on here despite them playing the same amount of games.
Yes it was probably the right call to play him in recent weeks with us spoiling teams, but to not throw Cogger out there while we're struggling is ridiculous considering he has contributed multiple tries in recent weeks and would actually get on the ball like we needed one of our halves to do.
The team as a unit is also defending far better collectively and that's not just because of the inclusion of one player. Players are more disciplined in the line, they're looking to get back quicker, we're getting more numbers into the tackle..just some things I noticed with us.
