Believe there is too much criticism of Blaymire because his alleged poor kick return, primarily I want a full back to be able to tackle, be good under the high kick, have good positional play and by brave on the sweep - which he I believe he is accomplished at.
Very few clubs have the Australian style Full back/Stand-off - and they pay good money for one & their success is as much to do with the quality of the team around them - we were not exactly creating too much pf a broken line to return to last year. Probably has alot to do with how we (in the UK) train our youngsters.
If I remember the last two attempts we had at that were Rooney and Demteriou in the position who were little short of a disaster and quicly replaced with a "traditional" full back.
If I remember the fans favourite of the last decade at full back were Hallpenny and Martin Holland - both of whom appeared to be playing in slow motion.
