I think the more foundation question should be what constitutes a run? Do you need to run and make x metres, do you need to get tackled with the ball? Out of hookers who get out of dummy half, engage the markers then pass, I'd have him up there in terms of quality.
Where I'd like him to find improvement is in his decision making. I thought last year he overplayed the crash ball a bit resulting in errors, sometimes instead of taking an overlap. I thought he did this once in the first half on Sunday too. It is so hard to know without being on the inside though. For all I know Fitz could be asking him to throw that pass 1-2 times a set when attacking the opposition line to compress the defense and create space. In which case the critique should probably fall to the forwards who need to hold the ball better, or Fitz to change it up a bit. Also without being on the field, when it looks like we take the wrong option, is it because it's his choice, or is he not receiving the chat on the field to tell him where the space is and which way to go?
It's not really an answer to your question, as I struggle to define exactly what the other top 9's are bringing to their team that Blayke isn't doing, without the obvious elements such as exploiting gaps in the middle because they are faster. As a genuine question, could you be more specific as to what you're expecting of him?
