Yes he has had some average games this year (Tits game was a shocker I have to admit), but I think he has been far from our worst, and probably our best in many games. Bagging him for the Heighington try is just clutching at straws, did you actually see it? It was a good step. The Lawrence try also, he was flat footed up against one of the fastest in the game. I know you lot have a vendetta against Coote because he kept Gordon out of the FLB spot, but seriously give the guy a break
However, I do agree he has slowed in his progression and should be further in his career than he is now. The injury in '10 as mentioned was the catalist. Should he be dropped, no. Does he have pressure on his position at FLB, you betcha. Should he be trailed at 5/8? I think the time is right. I was against it last off season, but feel now could be the time
