Should have been our hooker

This is where it gets muddled. Different people who watch the same games, saying different things. BroncoOnion says defensive capabilities are a factor, you suggest that it isn't for the majority. Tackling technique is an important part of what Bronconion says is defensive capability, but not the only part.

There are some people, JOC for one, who have serious technical deficiencies.

But Dan Sarginson, for example, knows how to tackle someone and can physically do it. But he often makes bad choices in terms of his positioning or which runner to go with. To me, that's down to not playing enough games and being exposed to those situations often enough when he was younger. And also not playing at a high enough standard in those developmental years. 12 games each summer is simply not enough. So then the coaching staff later on are always playing catch up - made worse if those coaches are busy dealing with a dysfunctional team in a dysfunctional club.

I'm certain that at Wigan he'll be afforded the help he needs to develop into a very good player.

Got it. Thanks.

Kaufusi does not seem to have improved since leaving. Retains the ball handling skills and enthusiasm of someone unconscious.

I thought he did pretty well today, but not for long. Don't know how long he was on the pitch but he only showed up for about 15 mins.
