Bingo !
Half backs with time are dangerous and look dominant, if they are on the back foot and with no time or space to work in they look ordinary.
Having said that, back in the day, our imports (with some obvious exceptions) were a class above out "home" players.
These days, we seem to bring over a much lower grade of player.
May be this is due to the cash that we have available and we can only attract players on the comeback from injury, who use clubs like ours as a stepping stone to get a "proper" contract back home.
We dont seem to have had a really classy player since Solomona.
Tim Smith had his moments but generally we may have been better served with British players, who generally seem to be able to play more games in a season than half crocked overseas players.
Miller may turn out to be an exception.
AS others have said, behind a pack that is going forward, the guy is quality and he's got super quick feet.
Let's hope that Chester and Kear can put together a strong pack for next season so that we can see the best of him.
