bounce to the outside when nothing is open & get past the edge.

Ronney Jenkins (& Reynaldo Braithwaite) was this elite back. Unfortunately we just don't land guys like that very often....

I don't think he's a dangerous back, but his vision & body control

That's about how I'd have described Harvey in 2007.

Another guy who comes to mind for me is Mahe. I hope they put Haunga in the slot

Agree. And with time Moa might be the best… we shall see

I'd like to see Martin take off 5 pounds and give it to Haunga to start 2025.

I think Haunga is pegged as that guy but he still has a lot to prove

Moa has the potential to be the best one

He does some things better than Martin, but overall — Martin is REALLY good.

SinkingQuffa

Jan 2, 10:49am

Agreed. Martin is a 1000 yards back if he's healthy. Good vision, breaks tackles

He's pretty sneaky explosive, though. For a 225 lb Back, he's got a great burst.
