He has been doing it all season. His numbers for winning the ball back & progressing it are exceptional, literally among the best in the league. I've always maintained people just didn't understand the type of player he is.
Assists are a pretty meaningless stat in truth & when you take set pieces you will always get more than anyone else.
I love Hamer to bits but just pointed out that he's had a poorer game than the likes of Bidwell & Sheaf who were unfairly getting pelters.
The whole middle of the park has been totally stifled tbf. They've done a decent job packing the middle & making it hard to play through them. Bacuna is literally on top of Sheaf every time we try to play out. Pitch not helping either.
Need to stretch the play a bit more, get Gyok, O'Hare &...
