The man gets so much hate he doesn't deserve, slower obviously these day's but he does the honest job asked of him every week.
Hannay just used/asked to much of him last year and should be held much more responsible imo.
He's not in my top 17 this year but I hope he gets his 300th game at some point this year because he deserves it.
He's just a bit boring, I certainly don't hate him, I was happy we signed him.
But with Finucane and McInnes he has been pushed out of my 17 also. Probably still expect him to play more than 3 games though
A bit boring - but very effective.
Factoring in metres, defensive involvement, and tackle efficiency the stats say for 2021 that:
1 - Williams belongs in the 17, but the plan for him should be to play 35-45 minutes
2 - Rudolf is a workhorse in defence, even though he misses a handful each game
3 - One of Tolman or Rudolf should be on the field at all times
4 - Woods and Tolman were the most effective players if used for high minutes
5 - Talakai runs hard and hits hard, but can only play low minutes and is a poor defender in terms of both involvement and efficiency
6 - Hamline Uele was a step behind. I personally think he may have been carrying an injury.
I'll add the new recruits to the next version to see if that tells us anything useful for 2022 and beyond - and I'll also break down tackle efficiency by minutes played
