Utility I was trying to be even handed by saying that Adam's mistakes are noticable on the field. For some reason his fumbles get noticed where others aren't as much.
Just my opinion but I reckon he could run for 200m a game and it wouldn't bring much in the way of results towards winning a game or a try scoring linebreak.
I hope he has a purple patch this year in the same way a few other "steady" backrowers have for us in the past.
He is in the Gillies, Morrin, Cassillis, Coveney, Moffett style of player. Did their job but weren't game breakers. We could afford that back in those days cos we had elite spine players.
I wouldn't knock the guy but IMO he is ineffectual unless he plays to the utmost of his ability this year and I wouldn't be re-signing him unless he does because we have some potential talent coming through.
He is below the 2ndrowers and locks we already have on the books.
Just my opinion atm based on what he has shown us so far, as I don't want to lose any of them over him atm on potential.
Wish him all the best for the season.
There'll always be good and bad posters on TK AND scapegoats. Just the way it is.
The facts don't support the claim that "He is below the 2nd rowers and locks we already have on the books".
To whit, his run metres per game are better than CHN, RFM and Jackson.
His tackle efficiency is better that CHN and not that far short of Jackson and RFM.
His missed tackles are less than CHN, Napa and Jackson.
His error rate is less than DWZ's and it doesn't put him in the NRL top 50.
He concedes less penalties than Tolman and JMK and again he isn't in the NRL top 50.
I'm not sure by what combined measures he is below the others, because whatever it is the NRL doesn't use it.
I would also add that not everyone in the team can be a game winner, the Salary Cap sees to that.
