I thought Haas was incredible for a 21 yo, Made a bad read for their first try on a bad read (everyone does) but a 21 yo gave us 47 tackles at 94% while being heavily targetted (Schoupp only had to make 5/5). He needs to improve his physicality but that will come with age and another pre season. I'd rather Alick in for Jojo for these games but Jojo is contracted till 25 where as Alick isn't yet.
Complaining about his metres, it's on purpose him saving his energy for defence and having Sami do all that dirty work. Our right side is becoming somewhat competent, I don't get anyone wanting to change that.
It was only a 5 game round but having 4 of the top 5 tacklers of the round in Verrills, Jolliffe, Randall and Haas (other was Bateman), They got targeted and they stood up without 3 origin forwards. We also had the highest possesion rating at 85%.
If we keep those stats up, most weeks we win. I think Stimson moves back into the middle if Haas keeps this up.
