Classy Bulldog Higgins could return on a wing or in defence, says McCartney

Re: Classy Bulldog Higgins could return on a wing or in defence, says McCartney

Just from the article did he ever really lack conviction in the contest? I always thought his problems were he lacked a yard of pace and did work hard enough off the footy, don't recall him being soft

My opinion was that he started off OK with the physical aspect of the game, his marking was really good under pressure and used to throw himself into the contest when he had to but it wasn't ever his natural game. That aspect of his game has suffered through injury and unfortunately the mix of that, his fitness and body language, makes it is easy to paint him as soft.

If not soft, he certainly isn't one to role model the cracking in mantra.
