The defensive vulnerabilities on that edge seem to come about because of players on the inside being tied up and creating overlaps as others have said. Maybe something to be said about the fact we're not defending with a traditional hooker through the middle?

McGuire and Burrow are defending on our left edge when Burrow is at hooker so are we over compensating for that and being left short on the right?

Not convinced its solely the fault of BJB and/or Watkins.

Isn't BJB knocking on a bit to be still given the 'young lad learning' excuse ?

I believe he has been potty trained for quite some while if that's what you mean?

I think that one of BJB's major defensive weaknesses is that he does not know how to deal with the ball that's kicked through to him and/or behind him on the ground.
Something that IMV now precludes the coaching staff from picking him as a full back.
He is no longer a developing kid, or at least he should not be viewed as such.
Defensivley he has not improved as much as I'd have expected.

I would have dropped him earlier in the season, but looks to have improved in the last quarter of the season..
Still not sure if he is "good enough"....

He was. Hence Lee Smith bloated prescence in the team.
