Spot on. If we’re basing our game around defence, we need to remove our two biggest liabilities in that regard.
He is one of dumbest edge defenders I have ever seen. No feel for what the opposition is doing.
Yep he may well be, however in my opinion that comes with a lack of experience and he won't get that watching from the dugout. EGJ constantly made shit decisions in defense and he grew up in the same house as one of the best defensive wingers in the history of the game.
No chance (for the reasons @IFR33K has outlined...).
I agree that he won’t get dropped...doesn’t make it the right call though. The only thing he really brings is a strong bash and barge for the try line. I think we can cover that and improve in all of the other areas. Perhaps Sivo needs a spell for the rest of the year and learn how to defend in the pre-season. He has become too much of a liability and his continued inclusion is doing more harm to us than good.
The problem is they jam up and/or in and are left in no man’s land covering nobody. It’s almost as if they are avoiding making the decisive read and covering the space between attackers as an each way bet.
