Round 23 - Storm vs Roosters
Very much so. He has been consistent and durable since debuting, but this year has just been horrible for him (injury wise).blazza18 wrote:Real bummer of a way for Tohu to finish up here. Hopefully he can get right for a playoff push.

Welch is definitely in our best 17 if fit... I still believe and have for a couple of years, when Cam goes, Jesse is the logical next choice as captain, but age dependent, Welch will be a future captain. He's Kearns like in his workrate and no frills approach
Welch is a work in progress and the injury was poor timing as 2017 would have been a development year/big learning curve... His tackling effectiveness needs improvement, as does his work rate when out on the field but was coming along nicely. I wasn't impressed when he first came into first grade but he was definitely growing on me the more he played.
Before injury, Welch's offloading had become almost an art-form. Hit the line, turn sideways, sneaky underarm offload to Cam = dangerous second phase play.

I'm happy with that. Hughes has been sensational in his opportunities this year (albeit in a different position). Hopefully he doesn't overplay his hand, concentrates on running first and has a blinder... again.
With that many penalties and that much field position, we should be up by more. Looking a bit impotent in attack, not helped by the extremely slow play the balls.
That penalty for obstruction was a joke...
