The problem with the coffee shop boy and his player power inspired auto selection was that he stayed too long. His poor habits were mimicked by every Australian halfback for 15 years. It'll be a decade before we produce a half that will have a crack. The best half I have ever seen was the great Joost vun der westhausen (sp?). In his early career he was deadly behind a massive pack. He wrought havoc on opposition defences and created space for his backs due to the attention he attracted. Coffee shop boy was a good organiser. I like halfbacks that will rip open a defence
