I think Akira has a LOT of fans on here, where as Frizzell doesn't. That has a heavy push on the MOTM polls.
While I agree with that observation, I have noticed that The Fern tends to recognise good performances. Nearly everyone agreed that Frizzell had the sort of impact we want to see from a starting blindside.
My major criticism of his is that he's making no impact when carrying the ball.
Generally I agree. Although the 6% of the MOTM poll in Bok II suggests that people are a bit loath to vote for him.
There were a few players in the mix for that match for sure, but I do believe that Akira had played Frizzell's exact game he would have got a LOT more than 6% of the vote.
Bok 2 SF was good but not great and made a couple of really big shitty errors. One of which may have.led.to points?
It was a good shift of tight work but nothing outstanding. That's what you are going to get, judicious use of the shoulder. What makes that valuable is it frees savea up to do savea things.

That's really the only coherent argument in his favour, the "Rueben Thorne" argument that he does the hard graft to allow others to shine. I don't really buy it though, I just think he's mostly pretty ineffective at the top level which is why he never stands out.

@MajorRage good post, though I'm not convinced he went missing, I just think he was asked to play a tighter game against SA. His tackle stats are always up there even in games where he isn't so prominent. I think the fact he can be so devastating with ball in hand counts against him a bit, as when he puts in a tighter shift people think he's gone missing as they expect to see him running over people out wide.

Yeah, probably true.
He's got a bit of Toeava about him on this forum, that's for sure.
