It is also about how often the ball gets delivered to Sharman vs King and vs Membrey.
He is the third tall option - and rightly so, as he is obviously not up to their level (but may have the potential to bridge that gap, who knows?) ... and has probably made the most of his limited opportunities, if we think of it that way.

He has not disappointed, and I won't go the other way and under-rate him, either ... that's for sure.

Like Butler last game, Sharman is doing all the right things at Sandy. Good to see. Maybe he’ll soon start living up to the rating that many posters on here give him.

Billings seems to be having another good game as well, Clark less so, which is troubling.

Sharman responded well to his omission.

Billings didn't drop his head and played well, working on being that conduit between defence and attack.

Clark did well I thought but more in desperate need of games continuity.

Byrnes just tries and tries, was down today.

All in a side that really did get smashed.

Armitage came close at times. I’m sure there are others I’m struggling to recall.
Lonie was far away the most overrated player!!!
He was crap!
No he wasn't.
He played some very good games for us in a difficult position
He was undersized and his other skills were not elite enough to compensate.

Ridiculous odds.
If I was a betting man I would be putting a cool grand on the saints at those odds.

Deleted. My bad: you were obviously talking about Lonie, not Sharman.

I thought Lonie was ok, but never more than a fringe player.
