No, it's because his game got exposed just like every inexperienced half that comes through. How many halves make a splash early in their career and never kick on because teams work them out?
Yh I don't agree, he's just poorly skilled and always has been through the grades. He deserved the opportunity but has not improved in the slightest. He's a shithouse Wade Graham at best, should probably look back at Graham's career path and try and replicate it.
Look what he was working with at the beginning of this season for example.. nobody could hold the ball ffs.... he has shown quality skills in patches, and with the help of a proper halves coach, we should see it on a consistent basis... I get the feeling he's been placing way too much emphasis on the other side of the ball.. we've had an issue for years surrounding halves here at the Dogs and it doesn't all come down to the player... the coaching has to play its role.. how do you expect to do better when you're coming up against teams with Andrew johns as the halves coach, when your team's halves coach is the water boi
Except he hasn't. Unless it's a long ball to the wing he has absolutely fuck all. His skills are absolute dead average at best and a halves coach can only do so much, but then again shit we an X bulldog so I'm guessing some of our fans are expecting hi to work miracles.
I don't think he struggles with confidence...lol.
Oh FFS, the teams, players and coaching staff are required by the NRL to do X amount of press every day/week/month/year. What are they supposed to talk about, the colour of their boot laces? They aren't rocket surgeons and there are a finite number of footy related subjects that they can talk about in the off season. So it's always going to be about some part of the preseason, offence or defence. Let it go, it's just filler for the media, don't read into it any more than that.
Nah, just some of us see his game differently to you. You really have a problem with him, it’s almost obsessive...
Not discrediting your points but an entire season is over doing it considering they were both dropped and Lewis was injured for a few games.
Because you lot fawn over him. Dead average with the ball in hand.
You can use that argument for any player though. He can't run and he can't ball play, there's fuck all too work off. Is he even faster than Tolman? Seriously?
No argument.
To be fair but a lot of the experts rate him too mate
The experts rated Mbye, Woods, etc...but TK said they were shit? Bloke is the golden boy, I'd probably have sex with him if I stared into his eyes too long, same as a few other kennel members
No, not at the day spa.
I haven't heard too many experts praise Lewis on his actual play in the halves its always his defence or his tenacity and competitiveness like the run in with Burgess that get the comments.
