Getting your hands on the ball means nothing if you turn it over.
I'd rather the problem of working with someone getting heaps of it with some poor disposals than a player with heaps of skill that can't get the ball.

His kicking has been s***. I don't know how else you can really put it.

That's not a personal attack, it's just fact.

Here's hoping he stops going for the long blaze when it's not warranted & spots up targets in the forward 50. If he improves his kicking & kicking decisions then he will be playing far more effective football.

So, you want Rhys Palmer playing for the Saints?

Over a player who may have good speed and skills but not able get much of the ball like say Brad Howard? Definitely any day.

[quote="animalenclosure"]Is it me or does "Ounce" make a drop punt look like a capricosa pizza. His kicking IMO is a below what we have come to expect from him. I also feel as good as a outside player as he is, his inside game is ordinary. I feel sometimes he would rather come off the ground with a "twisted sock" then get the hard ball. This is where I get annoyed at the CJ detractors & McQuater detractors. If the foot skills are are on par, Cj & Mini would eclipse Ounce of the inside & outside parts of their games on the whole. Yes, gram can kick the 50m goal but I've seen plenty this year that have not been close.[/quote]

This from animalenclosure September last year......I agree with you, and with regard to CJ and Mini they have improved OUT OF SIGHT compared to "Ounce".
Admitting Mini has fallen away a little in the last couple of weeks but he is fighting every week. Fundimentally two players have moved forward, one has stagnated.......you choose
