He was barely able to walk after the Richmond game and is under duress clearly since but fronts up every time. How that affects his hands mystifies me but likely a confidence thing. He hurts and bleeds for us. Nuf said.
Without wanting to seem callous, but, if he's that injured why the hell is he playing? It's obviously affecting his contribution - which can only also knock his confidence for six. Surely it'd be better for him to have time off to heal any injury? I have no doubts that Meat is blue through and through but that's not the issue... the issue is can he contribute to a level that helps the team and his own confidence? I realise the most logical argument against what I am saying is that there aint too many 200cm blokes in our side who can also go into the ruck... but is the trade off working? Is it costing us in other ways?
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
