Is he playing THAT bad??
Certainly not up to his early career form & doubt he will again....
Has had serious injuries that have effected his confidence & speed which is a blow for any winger.
The GF, well not his best game but there were plenty of others who's mistakes were every bit as bad including the whistle blowers.
Keep in mind it was a freakish try against Souths the week before that helped steer us to the decider & how many wingers would have stayed in...beaten Inglis...& got it down?? Hiku or Blair??
Always there to do the tough yards also & credit to Hiku, plays every bit as tough as Wolf here but not as quick & Wolf has a super understanding with Lyon usually getting the positioning right to cash in on those 50/50 opportunities for tries.
Confident that Blair is a capable winger but Hiku is far better suited to Fullback/centre & maybe not far off handling the 2nd row imo.
Yes Wolf will cop more bombs than Pearl Harbour this Friday for good reason, but he is still our best option with Taufua & once his confidence is back I have a feel most will be happy to start him.
