He was an outstanding player. Deserved more AA’s to be honest, but the lazy bastards had it marked Matthew Scarlett

There were a few years there where he was untackleable. Had an unorthodox method of evading too if I recall correctly.

Yup. Had that strong core from the hips that meant he was difficult to wrap up. Used to weave his head around arms to get the ball free eventually.

Such a good player. His best games were when he completely destroyed Franklin in 2013 at the 'G and when he did it again early in 2014. In 2013, he was getting so much more ball because he was freed up when Hansen went back. (Also Hansen had a great year that season too)

Geez we had some great combinations and couldn't put it together somehow. So utterly disappointing.

We miss you.

Down you go ***

Anyone know what he's up to these days?

No, but I’d love it if they invited him to do a pregame chat in the Premiership Club for a game this year.
