Have seen a lot of footy and many good halves that know how to steer around their team. Sully does not look to me to be a natural organizer and unlikely even 50 games will change that. Junior looks to have a better feel for ball playing than his mate.
He can learn game management.
A bit like Hunt more of a running 7 that has taken him a long time for Hunt to be consistent ... Hunt , Reynolds two different 7s ..... IMO Reynolds the better one ...... So Sully will be fine just needs more top grade games ..... Respect your opinion mine differs .....
I could be wrong but I think he can learn game management like Reynolds.
Who ? or both ......
I was thinking Sullivan. Amone has been doing pretty well until yesterday.Who ? or both ......
I rate Bud , as I have said before cant judge him on one game , Hook should of had him around top grade this year , but as the old saying says , time will tell .....
He had a bad day yesterday. First half was just so much defending and in the second half, just about everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Ran when he should have passed, passed when he should have ran and of course every kick was just a little too big. But I still rate him as well. I still think he's the future and can learn to steer the team around much better.
He had a bad day but I still have confidence he'll make it. If it wasn't for the last tackle options, neither Sullivan or Amone would have had a bad game. There last tackle plays were really, really bad but apart from that, I think they are getting too much flak. I thought both of them also ran too much. Amone gone from what extreme to the other. Lomax and Suli were dangerous but didn't see the ball enough. Well, the whole team didn't see the ball enough because of the last tackle options.
I'm going to go with the above rating as well but srop Suli and Lomax back to 6. Suli scored that good try but Staggs gave him a bath overall. Lomax didn't see enough of the ball to rate more than 6 in my view.
That's a good point about Suli but I think his defensive problems were more because of the players around him not doing their jobs in defence.
Hook seems big on halves running the ball. Especially Sullivan went a little overboard with it. He had more hit ups than most of the forwards. Though a few times he troubled them and at least once, ran straight through. He didn't do it with brute force but held the ball in both hands in front of his body, making them unsure if he was going to kick pass or run and neded up running straight through so that's very promising.
