Like I predicted Stevie J was tagged by Picken last week, keeping him to 20 touches. Luckily for those who have him he had an influence and made those possesions count,scoring 103.

How will he go this week? Even O'Keefe may go to him. If this was DT he would have only got 78. So will he make the most of limited opportunities this week? Or is Picken leagues ahead of Jack/Bird as taggers?

imo picken is a tagger while jack and bird are run with players.. heres the difference

Picken, tagger - has little or no impact on the game himself while cancelling out another player

Jack, run with - this kid has an ability to always require attention, he will let his opponent get loose at times but its too risky as he WILL hurt you going the other way if no close attention is made

Bird, Run with - like jack he can hurt going the other way, but doesnt have the damaging ability (that jack has anyways), he will pay more attention to opponents (ie wont allow cheap possies in space)

I would think that SJ will need to earn some hardball against syd as we all know cheap possessions is hard to rack up against syd
