Every other forward in the middle didn't play half lol, Fualalo played 50 and Elliott played 68. Like i said, go watch his efforts in defence closely. Look at the tackles he's involved and see what he actually does. Yes he works hard, yes he's a good cover defender, yes he gets through work...but LOOK at the quality of it.
They still had lengthy stints compared to Tolman. Quality isn't all there, I agree with that but he gets down and dirty and when we are without Klemmer its a massive effort worth acknowledging. Its not an easy job what the guy does but its still not worth big dollars, would still gladly offload him for a decent prop.
Fualalo had some good runs and a few hits in D but his gotta go too.
Elliot, super impressed hey... His hard running, hard hitting, fake to kick lol is great but its the supporting the ball carrier which is massive. Does it on every run and definitely peels of defenders off the ball carrier which enables us some dominant tackles.. Good coaching.
