He's gone from being Judd's understudy to just about the lead role.
With his end of season fresh in our minds we're probably forgetting that at the start of the season he wasn't quite as dominant.
That may go part of the way to explaining his runner-up position in the rising star.
I suspect it will also show up in our B&F and the Brownlow where he will poll better in the back half of the season.
Will definitely get the 3 votes against the Saints in round 4 but his real outstanding run started the first week Barker took over the coaching reins. Just going though his weekly stats just then.
