Quote ="rhinoms"Do you think he's at his usual level performance wise?
From my own p.o.v i think he's way off and is looking his age especially in defence.
Tbf i wouldn't call him the "whipping boy" either especially with how the whole team have performed so far this year but because of his usual high standards he stands out more imo and fwiw i personally haven't just picked out Senior when discussing the teams efforts this year.
All about opinons fella and i'm more than happy that mine are balanced and fair!

To be honest he hasn't had that long run of form that he ususally comes up with.
That should be due any time soon!!
He has shown signs of it.
I hear the issue with defence. But the same could be said for another for another half a dozen players at least. But 'Seniors defence' is all we hear about. Alot more than others.
Look, Seniors past his best. No question. BUT IMO he's can still offer something. I would replace him at the end of the year IF the replacment was right and was for the good of the team. But it's a hard gig to fill.
And I still think he has more + than -
Then you look at his fitness and his ability to play week in week out and that is hard to come by.
Come the end of the year when we're in the pressure cooker of the playoffs he will rise to it. His constant support and advice he passes on to the like of Hall, Watkins etc is invalueable.
And another way to judge Senior: How would Ryan Hall be judged right now if he hadn't have had Senior (SL's greatest centre) inside him?
