Jay is YEAH and I think he'll end up down back next year at CHB
I think alot of Jay's hardwork in the 1 percenters catergories doens't get acknowledged like it should. The blocks, the sheperds, the tackling and the 2nd efforts at ground level in trying to keep the ball in the fwd 50.
It's the other more athletic stuff he needs to work on
And better run on injury front wouldn't go a stray either
Spot on Billy.
My biggest concerns re CHB is his ability to win the ball at ground level and his aerobic ability to run out an entire game.
I see him of more use at FB if anything.
There's no doubt he has the tools to be a very good FF. Great kick, mark and the points you have mentioned above.
I think despite his 2nd efforts, he has trouble creating scoring opportunities off the deck in the same way that the really good FF's in the comp like Fevola, Lloyd and Hall do. He works hard but can't seem to get to the contest & get his hands on the ball.
It goes without saying that Richo as the focal target in the forward line is stifiling Jay's oportunities to get genuine game time.. Stafford as the preferred option at the end of the year was baffling too.
To that hand, Hughes may be a better long term option at FF? Time will tell.
This is where Jay absolutely needs to work on his weaknesses this pre season. 07 is make or break for Jay Schulz.
