Quote ="Smiggs"Again this. Why some are trying to pin the blame on Shaul for this is bizarre, it's the job of our half backs to create the space for him to be effective. That's where the problem lies.'"
I can see both sides really. He generally doesn't get enough time, certainly much less time than Hanbury and Dorn seem to get in their sides, and often he gets lined up by the defence due to the slow time it takes to get him the ball. There could be an element of it down to his positioning too.
But there is the other side of his game that he squanders opportunities to put others in. Wakefield last week for example he decided to take it on himself, where a short ball to the right would've surely seen a try. It could be a confidence thing, or just poor decision making. Saying that, for every one of those, there's a try he's scored from nothing.
He's had a cracking season though, and if this is the only part of his game we're nit-picking about, we've got a pretty decent player on our hands.
