He scored 13 tries. 5 were when he was on the left (2 from kicks), 7 on the right (3 from kicks) and I think it's fair to attribute his Knights match winner as down the middle of the field.
As a starter, 9 games on the left (7W-2L) for 4 tries (excludes the Knights one as he had switched sides at that point) & 5 starts on the right (2W-3L) for 2 tries (includes 1 at Centre).
In his 8 bench games he was used predominantly on the right edge to spell
Niukore but also came on & spent 75 minutes at right Centre in Round 27.
Overall, 3 ball running tries on the left vs 4 on the right.
No Try Assist stats were given to him this season but he was responsible for creating the opportunity for
CHT to score against the Dragons. This occured on the left.
He can freakishly catch bombs on either side, run a hard line too but when you stick him on the right edge the ball carrying arm is exposed to the inside defender (
Kodi Nikorima of all players exploited this) and if he gets on the outside of this defender his instinct is usually to cut back in rather than utilize the space created.
In our first game vs the Broncos he scored a try that won't be replayed over & over but it was so simple & effective. He got dropped under, then got to the outside of Riki and palmed him off to score. In our second match against the Tigers he used that same right hand fend to beat 2 defenders with about 1.5m of space to work in.
He can score regardless of where he lines up but his fend is a weapon that is largely redundant on the right edge
