I bracket Short and Butler together.
Looked ok when the team doing well, their weaknesses covered by team mates.
Both found out when the team not travelling so well, and players need to get their own ball.
Stack, Bolton, and now maybe Egg are upgrades.

Hope DES keeps his spot. Played well enough at the level to get another go. It's not just about this year.
I’d like to see him get the next 3 weeks against good opposition, great test to see where he’s at and also a fantastic learn8ng experience for him, however I think he may stiff and make way for Jack and Caddy.
Lucky he didn't sit on the wall, he avoided being dropped so Hardwick doesnt have to put him back together again.
We've seen Naish & Short in the distributor role at HB but DES is the first one that I've thought could genuinely fill the role Bachar plays.
As has been pointed out by his coaches he has a very good balance of a defensive mindset coupled with attacking flair. It's a great mix.
Very excited to see how he progresses.

Looked a little shaky at times going for the contested ball. I doubt we can have Short, Houli and Eggs in the team at the same time in September
I like him and I like low trajectory kicks, but his are a fraction too low. Had a quite a few passes to a team mate in space touched by a leaping defender who shouldnt be in the game. I'm confident he'll sort it out.
Yeah, although Houli won't be dropped. We definitely can't have Eggs and Short in together. May have to put Stack back to shore things up - bring Caddy back in for Eggs I reckon. Seems like Short is part of the finals plan so probably keep him in to find some form.
Not after today I wouldn't have thought. It was a pretty finalsy game, and he didn't make much of a fist of it. Again.
It isn't just that he loses one-on-ones, its how he loses them.
Don't disagree with your assessment of his game, he was shizen. If he's picked again next week it will be an indication of whether he's part of the plan or not.
