How good is he? Talk to me people. He's coming to Brisbane next year and I'm wondering if he'll thrive under the tutelage of Benny. We're paying him a lot of money, there will be big expectations. The key question for mine is how effective is he as a halfback. Forget him at 5/8 and lockyer moving to half back. Thats an awful idea as DL is sh*t in close to the ruck. He was best at fullback running wide, and is still at his best when he plays out there. So basically Wallace needs to play the role of a traditional halfback. Does he have the following?
Ego - All good halfbacks have ego. They need to have it to take control and be boss. Is Wallace capable of ordering the broncos around and backing himself over Lockyer. Does he have a personality that would allow him to step up and be the man?
Defense - Is he a rugged defender? Can he tackle and bring big men down.
Nippyness - The best halfbacks are quick off the mark and can take the ball forward to the line. Is Wallace this kind of player like Kimmorley or Johns that will drive the team forward with his own ball running
Kicking game - does he have a good all round kicking game?
Smarts - Is he clever and a good organizer? Will he make smart decisions?
I worry about his size. Is he too big to be at halfback or is that not a concern. Is his best position still 5/8? So many questions. I need answers.
