You and I both know statistics, or metres gained are not necessarily a definitive indicator albeit the better sides do tend to have at least one beast metre eater which we have in Brian To’o.No ones arguing he got dropped. The games more than about than just metres though. Sauce made more metres than mom or Naden last night but he was definitely the shittest winger on the field, he gifted us great field position multiple times and we took advantage of it.
I want Charlie Staines to succeed, I’ve never suggested otherwise but I just don’t see a long term future for him as a winger. I see a similar scenario to say Bevan French former Eel, very quick, scored a lot of tries, touted as the next big thing but small wingers in the modern game really do have a lot going against them and sadly it didn’t work out for him just too lightweight.
I hope Charlie gets an extended crack a fullback in 2022 because that is his future, I just don’t see him having a future on the wing.
