ROughead is not this sort of player.I do believe that it wouldnt hurt if he watched a tape or 2 of Riewoldt and the like. and in doing so, gets to see him lead and lead and double back and lead again.
What you're asking for is the equivalent of some in the preseason lamenting that he wasn't leading the pack in the sprints drills.
He's a workhorse.....a Clydesdale. Not a track horse.
His game on saturday night was fine. I did find myself asking who was on Rutten a few times as he came out of defence, but I beleive that has more to do with how we intend to set up when the opposition have the ball and how we're positioned, than to lay the blame solely at Roughead's feet.
