Then 80% of Raider fans are dumb then Raider...i'll take your word for it, but in some games i've seen of him other than this year, his positioning is sometimes extremely poor....although that may have been the result of poor defenders either side of him.
He does however hit hard.
More then likely due to the same reason monaghan has racked up some bad reads and mis tackles
which is due to the fact he is placed in a position in our defensive line to accomidate others
Monaghan for example, for the first half of the year had to focus on his job in defense aswell as cover up Carney and Purtell's f**k ups inside and out. He was effectively marking 3 blokes.
Campo's in the same boat, he's on the other side with Best who's not a noted defender, Graham who again can be found out, and chalk (who is strong but at times a poor reader)/Justin Carney (who's inexperienced and hasnt quite got the hang of defending at NRL level yet)
Its unfair to say he's a poor defender as he's probably the best defending 5/8th in the game, but with that comes great responsibility, and unfortunately when covering for one sometimes two other players, he makes a bad decision
Thankfully now he is defending on Carney and Best's side and Best is playing out of his skin, and Carney is improving every week defensively. So he really only has to focus on himself. And on the other side, Monaghan only has to worry about Purtell because Herbert is the best small half defender in the game
