As for Sullivan/Amone.. tbh Sullivan will cop plenty of flack on here over coming months when we aren't winning.. especially with the upcoming draw... as everyone looks terrible when we are losing the forward battle.. and the halfback will bear the brunt of it.. sadly many of Sullivans fans right now will turn on him.
But I've always seen a far more complete player in Sullivan, if you wanted him to be a 'running 5/8' like Amone.. he could do that quite easily.. but he is also creative, faster, better short and long kicking, can goalkick, a louder organiser.. tackles well above his weight class.. the toolbag is there if we want to develop it with him....
Amones footwork is elite though, and I dunno if we have weight-trained the speed out of him as we do everyone else.. or its just his natural body.. but his advantage is his size combined with footwork... he should be breaking tackles like Fittler.. but he doesnt.. so either we arent creating 1on1 situations for him, or maybe he really has lost too much pace.. but his tackling is not even close to many other roles.. so its a dilemma.. I still think Centre is a possibility.
