I recall watching Lichaa play coming through to 20’s.
He made the 20’s team of the year 2 years running. We all know being a great under 20’s player does not guarantee future stardom, however Lichaa didn’t even look like the same player when he played for us.
He is a perfect example in my opinion how Desball not only killed us as an attacking team, he also killed quite a few careers, particularly if you were a hooker.
Cook didn’t suit Des so he was out and we all saw how effective Ennis was when he was allowed to return to his natural game at Cronulla.
