SPS

[LP]

Too slow (Yet faster than Cripps, Kennedy, Setterfield and maybe even Walsh)
Lacks size (Bigger/Heavier than Fisher or Gibbons)
Lacks intensity (Works inside stoppages well)
Never been dropped should have (Probably true, but form isn't an indicator of ability.)
Not good enough to play midfield (Not sure about this claim!)
Another mids pick SOS screwed up (Was he picked as mid, and what are the other Mid screw ups?)

I think that assessment is a bit over the top, it reads like a need for grievance counselling.

SPS has plenty of upside, but he needs to be used the right way. Not sure BB or the MC did him any favours, I've faith in Teague getting the most out of the playing group as it was a feature of his coaching last time he was here.

I'v mentioned before, our midfield looks horribly slow, but the problem is our engine room is too slow overall, on average we are below par in terms of leg speed. This means the opposition can block our run and spread with just a couple of decent chasers to peg guys like sMurph or Fisher.

It also means the opposition can put a quick negating spud like Jed Anderson or Jasper Pittard on Cripps, because they aren't needed to chase anyone on the outside. Cripps can't get away form them because he is not fast, and because he rarely hurts them physically they can play small on him, even when he does hurt them it's by accident.

Add one or two with leg speed to the rotation, instead of overloading the midfield with slows like Cripps, Setterfield, Ed, Kennedy, Walsh as an all in, and you find they all get more time and space!
