Why do you think Foley never got a game. People need to go back & take a look at some recent replays of what he has been doing during games.
his kicking has never been good.
imo his problem is he is not winning enough inside ball anymore. it was this and his hands that greatly offset his poor foot skills.
i think we kid ourselves if we think we dont desperately need to find a better balance between inside and outside mids. tuck leaves a huge hole and even with tuck there we needed another inside mid. like tuck had to when it comes to kicking he will have to learn to operate within his limitations.
for me if foley can start winning more inside ball again hes a must player. one thing that cant be denied is injuries have not helped him with form or consistency.every time he looks like getting somewhere close to what he can do he cops another injury.
purely as a mid id have him in the team in front of the likes of
s edwards, newman, houli, grigg thomas, arnot,
