I was confident but he really does lack awareness and doesn't anticipate the play well enough - a must if you're playing on crafty forwards. He has all the tools but not the game smarts. His opponents were able to get seperation from him just by reading the play quicker than him and taking off a split second sooner...not by a clever piece of play.
Opposition teams were exploiting it too (leaving space in front of them for bonar's opponent to lead up into). Looked like a training drill and s**t you learn in under 16s (turning into your opponent, pushing off the chest to put them on the back foot and then take off on the lead...Bonar was getting worked by that...
Get strong Kyron Hayden vibes. Both are brilliant athletes but at this level appear a step behind for the reasons you say.
