Quote ="roopy"I've followed Uate's career since he was 17.
The 2008 WC is when he started to come to a lot of people's notice, but even after those games he was not a regular firstgrader under Brian Smith.
He became a regular firstgrader from the first game when Stone took over as head coach with CS as an assistant, and both Stone and Uate credit CS with turning him into a regular firstgrader.
He has always been a massively talented athlete, but he was 23 before he became a regular in firstgrade because he learnt the finer points of the game very slowly and made very little progress under Brian Smith, who isn't the best at working with guys who aren't up to speed.'"
He is 23 now Roopy...perhaps you need to follow a little more closely....
