Leads us to a couple more questions…
Does Fitz want him to play like that? This was how Tracey played, but WK is much more likely to be on an edge playing shape.
Can’t be in two places at once.
And
Is he actually doing this, but the offloads etc. just aren’t coming? He was definitely making some nice runs in and around the ruck off Brailey in round 20 and 21 last year before his i jury. That’s not support play, but shows he is around the ruck making positive plays at stages of the game.

@Gards as far as his involvement in shape goes, that is on the halves, and I would specifically say on Trindall. Too much sideways movement. Tricky seems to be able to play straight and create space on a short side OK, but when they have a wider shift he either drifts across field or shows and goes. This runs WK and his edge into a dead end. Has been happening all year. Raiders game it was really bad.
WK’s last few games with Moylan + healthy Wilton last year were some of his best in terms of taking advantage of 3 on 2’s. Tricky just isn’t doing the job (yet).
