No doubt in my mind. He contributed yesterday. This thread has had me a bit perplexed and wound-up, the criticism has been out of whack with his performances. No debate he's on the way out out, but calls of liability and giving us nothing have been OTT, apart from half a dozen games where he has been very poor.Congrats to Edwards. 300 games is one hell of an effort. The burning question, does he keep his spot next week?
I think I've worked out why. In all the media tributes one stood out for me, I think it was Carey. He said when were at our peak Shane's contribution to plays wouldn't get noticed by commentators, they wouldn't call his name. And early career Shed was the same, he'd contribute, but a lot of PREnders would bag him. I think he has to do a lot, peak Shed, to just be acknowledged. He's always been one of those players you look at the stats after a game and are surprised.
One vintage Shane Edwards moment yesterday got us going IMO. halfway through second Q, Clearance out of the centre, long handball to Cotch, gets it back, pass to Shai and goal.
