Rose was not convincing in any of his outings since that game. His tackles are broken and he seems to get out-positioned easily. The problem is that others are moving past him. Paps last year, most likely Florent this year and possibly even Hayward. If he plays the tall flanker he has to compete with Dawson, who has a huge bag of tricks when he is fit and tackles very well, Towers, Rohan & Cunningham. I'm not sure his game style is sustainable at AFL level. He's flashy and inconsistent. The only way he will make it is if he suddenly develops some consistency.
