He has got to bulk up, do forwards sprint/skills training in the off season and transition to a Travis Norton/Wade Graham role. Just can't see him as a long term half. Defence is sensational and as tough as teak but he is too one dimensional to be a viable half.
No u
Couldn’t agree more on the DWZ piece mate, he has brought a huge amount of confidence that has rubbed off on the entire squad.
defense wins games
He's right though, Cogger is better than Lewis.
Nah definitely not. Lewis defensive technique is better and that's it. Cogger organises, controls, kicks, passes and engages the line better than Lewis. I like both players but Jacks been shafted just on defence alone, even though he was always putting his body on the line
This! He is so predictable in that action as he always does it yet his teammates still don't hit the ball cleanly, which means his passing is not accurate. I was praying he would just dummy and run for most of the contest as I was scared where the ball would end up. Once he gets that running game and has the threat of playing short I'll come around.
I'm a Cogger fan as well but the Foran/Lewis combo might not be pretty, but it works. I would rather win tough and ugly consistently than win less frequently looking better. Cogger/Lewis will have their time together in the halves or hopefully someone feeds and muscles Lewis up over the break and he can wear the 13..
They were always fit, but lack of confidence makes players sluggish. They've found their style, and the confidence is sky high - that's why they are fitter and faster.
I think that's how Parra made most of their breaks too.
Yh there just isn't a lot to his game, some people seem get so offended when you mention it though lol. He can pass the ball to Foran and throw a decent cutout to his backs in space...but everything thing else just isn't there.
His bombs aren't bad, but it definitely seems its his only option.
