Nic Martin has simultaneously been talked about as All-Australian calibre and also one of the worst players in the league across the past two seasons, for a variety of reasons. Last year the knock on him was that his defensive skills left a lot to be desired, allowing his opponent when playing on a wing to run riot. This year in his new back flank role, the critiques have come for his kicking skills. Is he actually an A-grade player, or does he have significant deficiencies in his game? As a 23-year-old still searching for his best role, both things can be true, but he still has areas to work on.
