Im not sure what stats you looked at but he is not in the top 5 for halves, this season.
And with the amount of lines engaged he does not have many try assists or line break assists. Granted those 2 stats can be somewhat reliant on the players outside him running good lines and finishing off good passes.
Also correct me if i am wrong buy i thought he signed for 650k a year?
I thought someone might try and rebute my claims with stats so i looked myself immediately after that post. But ill post the below.
