Lewis is a shit half, end of. He could be the best defender in the comp and he would still be a shit half.

Where was his crucial match winning defence at the start of the season??? Can't believe we have people defending this overhyped golden boy, I'd take Reynolds over him every day of the week and we all know how I feel about him
Ok.... so let’s drop CHN.

Ok... so let’s go back to leaking 20 plus per game....
CHN has 7 try causes and line break causes...it's hardly anywhere near as bad as you're trying to make it sound and is pretty average for for the common edge forward. Most of his missed tackles are just him recklessly coming out of the line and getting caught out, something that can easily be coached out of him with some good disciplined coaching

There are third world militaries with better defence.

And? Our defensive issues have always been a combination of poor defensive systems and poor fitness and conditioning. Lewis is not this magic fix, he can simply be relied upon to make clutch tackle when other halves can't.

Then why have they improved so much if fitness and conditioning are the issues. Fitness and conditioning don’t get better just because the pressure is off.

True Elliot is a literal goat. Fucking shit for rugby league though
Nah, he’s a handy first grader.... was really out of form for a large part of the season, but has been good lately.... as he was last year.

Defence is more important at this stage in the team’s development. If Lewis is so bad for the team, why has his return coincided with our best winning run in years?
Because everyone else started playing better... don't fool yourself Cogger or Foran always carry his ass in attack, it's plain and simple when the games on the line Lewis isn't the man.

So everyone posting better just happened to coincide with Lewis coming back into the team? Rubbish, man. He’s been a vital cog in our defensive wheel during this good run we’ve been having.

He can score tries when Foran is linking up with him. Lewis threw CHN off all night with his dud passing
I’m
Not denying he’s a good attacking player.... but he’s extremely sus in defence.

No, but they can get better further along into the season as you get more minutes under your belt. Our preseasons under Pay have been diabolical in so many ways.
