Fair and accurate
In general I'd agree, although I'd note that he was responsible foir more than one turnover in the semi last week, but that was teh exception that probably proves teh rule

No, he regularly wins turnover ball. I would say that he's getting more than >two a game this season.
I don't see it as criticism necessarily. The Crusaders already have strong ballwinners. Having someone secure it is an important role.

You not gone yet?>
Up to my neck in removal boxes at the mo. I shall be drinking solidly with my friends here until Tuesday lunch, at which point I shall get on my motorbike and point for the UK. Leave Gatwick on the 2nd to arrive on the morning of the Rotorua game. Won 900 quid courtesy of Liverpool last night, so the trip is looking even better now.
