DMac is forever going to be one of those players people have a very entrenched view on. It is the way he plays is slight out the box, so naturally some won't like it.
Yeah I get the rocks and diamonds calls but I think his distribution is the best going around so depends on priorities I guess .
DMac hasn't been bad imo, and is probably the best option we have, but he isn't of the same standard of Carter or Barrett at his peak... I think people probably set unrealistic expectations.
No one compares to carter so those comparisons will always come up short beaudy included
I don't expect DC, but I do expect some form of decent tactical kicking and control

Has Blackadder done much? Can't say I have observed him. He might be in tight though.
His first two times he took the ball into contact we lost the ball at the breakdown
Typical sort of Blackadder performance - busy but not especially effective
His best feature might be his hands in attack.
As usual though he hasn't played in a while.

I had him as the Messiah earlier in the year.
Perhaps prodigal son is the more appropriate moniker?

Hotham doesn't exactly have a cannon arm. But he doesn't hesitate to pass off the deck. It's a low bar but he's over it

Nice snipe Gotham, then Fiji streals it after hands on the ground. Turn over was fine my arse

Nice hands, great try. ALB and Proctor putting pressure on Jordie and Reiko.
