I guess this opinion makes me a bit of an outlier, but I honestly think he is one of our better players.
I accept that he has made a lot of errors, but I think there is a lot more to it than him just messing up.
For the last month or so we have been very poor as a team. For whatever reason the entire squad has failed to turn up on a number of occasions. However he has not stopped trying.
Many of our players have been lethargic and seemed almost despondent. Our line speed was down, we weren't trying for the type of play that defined our season last year. But he still was.
Yes he's f**ked up, but at least he was trying. I'd always rather see players try and fail than not bother trying.
And as to people saying he is no Beale, am I the only person that remembers the slating Beale got when he first stepped out in a Wasps shirt because he was doing stupid things that gave the ball away, knocking on, offloading directly into the hands of the opposition and so on.
I honestly believe WLR is class and is one of the best supporting players we have had for a long time. He struggles to make the magic happen himself, but when someone like Beale (I know he's gone, but the example still holds), or Daley, or Gabi does something ridiculous that actually works there is no-one I'd want running alongside him more than WLR.
