Fair point. I guess its that old case of bench time at a high level or game time at a lower level. At the moment, I think he needs game time so am not too alarmed.
True, it is possible that is what is going on. But is it not possible for him to do both in some situations?
I do remember he was on the bench in Perth (I think?) then flew all the way back and featured for the reserves. He just seems to be out of favour, and I cant work out why.
