He hurt May in one passage of play, which is no easy feat.
SOJ, fisher, SPS to name a few walk taller with a brute like Levi around.
His kicking will always be below par, which is such a pity BUT he still has some qualities our young team relies on.
I agree with all that, which only leaves both our club Levi exposed to criticism. I hope for his sake this goes away, because after the game it looked like he had the world on his shoulders. It looked to me like he is on a last chance!
Worse for me, early Levi's marking was red hot and his confidence should have been high, but with each missed set shot at goal his hands became less and less effective as his own confidence evaporated! It doesn't just sap his own confidence, it affects those around him. Last night it's like they played in difference of those deficiencies, but that motivation might only have limited longevity.
The coaches have a real dilemma, I suspect they love the pack smashing Levi but hate the kicking Levi. Not just the goal kicking Levi, but that cross to SoJ that resulted in a turnover. I'm not sure how long coaches can or will persist!
I suspect one way or another we'll find out well before the end of the season based on selections.
If BB can turn this into a positive outcome for both club and player he should receive a lifetime contract!
