Yeah, I'll pay that - things could be a lot worse!
My only problem with O'Meley, even against the Tigers, was that he didn't seem to keep a lid on it. Aggression is one thing, but you've got to back it up I've no problem with Shrek if he puts in the hard yards.
Take a player like Tallis. He was an absolute thug of a player, but he backed it up, week after week. As long as O'Meley backs up the hot head with quality results, I'll be happy. I'm just concerned because for memory O'Meley's first start was against the Knights, and he was pretty average (admittedly, we were thoroughly outclassed). Maybe he's better coming off the bench?
Sherwin showed "glimpses", but its not enough. He needs to play consistently well. That decision to try to find touch on the 20-meter restart when it was completely unnecessary was pretty damn stupid. It comes down to discipline.
Maybe Ryan needs to be more aggressive in his leadership? We seem to lack something on the park. I personally think Mason would be a better choice. Fair enough he loses his temper, but he's definitely a leader.
