Quote ="BrisbaneRhino"Slater's generally brilliant under the high ball. He makes mistakes, but at least he competes for them. He started putting his leg out in the air becasue opponents were trying to smash him as he got the ball, under the guise of going for the ball (something I don't think fullbacks are defended from enough).'"
Kicking someone in the head whilst wearing football boots is never a good look, no matter how "innocent" he may say he is.....the rules about taking someone out in the air should be if they can show intent, it's 10 minutes at least.
Slaters stats for missed tackles and errors per game in 2014 was 1.6 for each....but he makes nearly 2 meters a carry more than Tomkins.
