That's right, the mob has caught on to wanting more from their 9
He's just a filler in our squad.
Hasn't really matured in his position, he's there cause we don't have any one better. Can make a case for McInnes.
The club don't view him as a filler though - they have backed him hard to be our future and something special
It doesn't help that we have Ennis back at the club singing Blaykes praises while seemingly doing little to improve his game
While Blayke is still young I agree he hasn't really matured or evolved alot at this point, he has gotten more bland if anything. If this were his first season of NRL I would be impressed but it isn't, he debut back when we still had Sorro, Capewell, Boogs and Xerri in our squad in 2019
feel old yet? haha
other than his defense and being less frantic I can't think of many aspects of his game that have improved all that much and like I said some things have actually regressed
Just because we don't have anyone better right now doesn't mean Blayke should be immune to criticism because we need to at least be open minded about exploring options. The coaches focus is probably elsewhere (not like he doesn't have alot of other stuff to fix)
We need the resurgent Nikora to give Blayke a pep talk on shaking the OWB tag
