Also he didn't actually say not as talented but not as naturally talented physically. This suggests to me that he is saying that is not a natural athlete which is something that hard work can help you overcome.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Mon 02 Dec 2019 3:19pmI take that as being modest and self aware.

We once had this kid called Harvey who had a very similar attitude.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Mon 02 Dec 2019 3:19pmI take that as being modest and self aware. I think working hard will get him past a lot of his peers and on track to hopefully a long career.

Re: Ryan Byrnes
A great work ethic gave some Saints some pretty decent careers. Think of Armitage, Geary, Stephen Baker, Jason Blake, Jamie Shanahan. None of them blessed with elite anything, but all important and productive players.
The important this is that Byrnes has the right attitude and will leave no stone unturned to reach his full potential. He can obviously play, too. Some of his highlights showed off his evasive skills. It's an attribute that few of our players possess.

Re: Ryan Byrnes
Baker, Dempster, C Jones, Geary, Blake
Elite defensive players
Stopping an opponent is a skill, they were top shelf in that area.
