He is super smart and quick thinking. For me that makes it more frustrating that he's going all or nothing in his attempt to win frees- which jsut aren't going to come his way at the moment. He needs to be smart enough to know to just play the ball and stop putting himself out of contests. Regardless of whether the frees should or shouldn't be paid - they're not getting paid, so play the ball and look to dish off..
He has been doing much less of it Sr36 then he was.
He probably was too smart for his own good with Toohey, imo he knew he couldn't do toohey for pace and if took possesion likely loses it to htb, so went for the sneaky play looking for the hold or high without the ball.
