Been saying this for months. He's a good player but no 9. Try him as a Luke O'Donell esq SR or cover 13. People have been overlooking his issues as a 9 because he's so strong in defense.
Time to sort it out. I like the idea of trying out Logan on the interchange with Tommy.

I don't know to be honest. I know his distribution can be erratic at times but he offers so much in defense that he can sometimes nullify the threat from his opposite 9.
He is one hell of a grafter but we do lose structure when he comes on.'"
A grafter at 9 is a total waste.
He has no game skills, never will. I do not doubt his application but he simply lacks the talent to make it and the longer he is in our 17 the more damage he can cause us. |

I take a massive sigh of relief as someone on here can actually see what's happening!
Good post. |

Whilst i don't disagree, i do think that it would be a shame to get rid all together. Without wanting to trot out the old "cant have a team full of superstars in the SC era" adage, it is true.
As a 2nd choice hooker he does an "adequate" job and on occasion plays very well indeed.
It is just a shame he does not have the frame of Joel or the Hoff, because he would be on hell of a back rower. I know that it has been touted having him in the 2nd row, but that for me is a no go as with Faz and Tuson we are already a little lightweight. |

He occasionally does an adequate job, generally we really struggle when he is on the field. |

He's clearly an issue. No ones talking about a team of superstars, but we potentially already have better 9s in the making already in our ranks. |

to be fair the team did not fall to pieces as often as it does today when McIllorum comes on when DV played. |

That's unfair, there are a lot of other personnel changes that happen around the same time that could be equally relevant. Taking yesterday's game for example, I'd argue Hansen's being subbed for Hock was a much more significant substitution.
At least some people on here can see his value, given he's currently 9th in our "player of the season" race, ahead of a lot of players who seem immune from criticism. |
