At the Champions dinner two years ago I was telling LRT that he had to bulk up over the summer. He had a beer in his hand and said "Jeez, I'm drinking as hard as I can". But he certainly put on muscle over the summer. Apparently those who played rugby with him say he was one of the most talented players they had ever seen. Yep - there are moments of terror when he has the ball (and not just set shots) but they are ebcoming less. He's been taking some good contested marks recently. Last weekend he had a beauty when he took the contested mark and instantly unloaded it to the only Swan not in congestion.
He ain't perfect - so SOS is a great idea - but he deserves to be in our best 22 on merit these days.
Note it mentions how hard he has been on himself. That was obvious with Dempster too when he missed the shot on goal and immediately sprinted off only to be turned back onto the field. Earlier, when we were losing, there were some here saying that Roos should get tough. I think that the faith shown by the coaches and teammates adds more than 10% to some players performance - did you note the pure joy on Baz' face when Jolly threaded that tricky one through (and was the first to run over and congratulate him)?
