Howat will get a permanent spot coz its an easy decision, the fact hes 20-24 on our list approx, is an indictment on the senior players behind him. Will play 2007 should survive to 2008 beyond that I dont know. In the last couple of weeks, players have started to focus on his left side and hes been caught afew times, afew disposals have also gone astray...at RFC however thats par for the course for many on our list. Hes ok for 2 years...but?
Mostly agree with the assessment (probably rate him in the 24 to 30 bracket due to the quality & quantity of current injuries), and for mine Cam is in a shoot-out with Hyde & Tivva for the L/F linkage role.
Has superior speed & more consistant disposal than Hyde, and perhaps a little less hardness.
Is probably on par with Tivva for skills, hardness & speed, and just lacks some awareness which is probably a lack of experience at AFL level.
Cam has the basis of an AFL career, however really needs to work on R/H disposal and continually improve his speed & endurance to carve his own niche.
Done more than enough for an additional 1 year contract on the list as he has been significantly more impressive than Humm.
