He clearly is struggling... When we signed him i had visions of him taking on the line on our left edge and providing the Morris twins with the time and space they deserve after being starved of quality ball for seasons... But to me it seems like he is happy to pigeon hole himself on the right edge, even though imo he's a left side specialist and always has been.
I like the guy and the toughness he brings, but sadly he cant control our side for shit... SOS for a quality 7!

ok so we sign this guy up and pray his half our answer to some structure plays or even a little bit of fresh air to our attack...

Yea a lot of players tonight in attack need to be held responsible and not just him but his the player with the big $, his the player who steers the side and controls the attack... I did not see this atall tonight and I might get crucified but I havnt seen much that really impresses me about him. He did a couple of little kicks here and there but 90% of the game he was mia.

Our 1 done majority of the kicking with our 6 fucking it up half the time. If licha the dumb **** doesn’t go your way then run around look for the ball control the side, tell people where you want them and set your structures what all good halves do.

IF he is doing that and we look like what we do then sorry ladies and gents but we have bought ourselves a million dollar dud and if he doesn’t grow some fuken balls and take control of the team then we will have the same results we did tonight

This is why we need Cogger, OR better yet, throw Lewis into the squad.
Can add something different.

Needs to play both sides with the 5/8 being an extra runner.

I called it last year

mentally and now I would say physically too he is not 100% fit.

we are fucken jinxed, even Andrew Johns of the past would play shit for us in the halves.

He needs to run the show. Jmk took more control tonight which makes zero sense.

I mentioned in the game day thread he is not a halfback and cannot steer the ship. He is an ad-lib 5/8th and needs a controlling halfback calling the shots IE Foran/DCE combo.

He has no support.
Thats 100% true, but dont you think Mariner would appreciate hitting a short ball off him (worked a treat in round 1) but since then poor old RFM has had to take those balls off Eastwood and Fualalo...
If Pay is hell bent on keeping JMK in the halves, i believe he needs to play them both sides of the field and have King at first reciever and distribute to Foran. Lichaa cant be hooker in this scenario though.

He gets slow ball off the back of a slow play the ball so no time for him. Forwards need to speed the play the ball. Lichaa (or someone else) needs to give the ball fast. This doesn’t give the opportunity for the opposition to be in our faces. We have been playing like this for 3 years!!

I usually curse Woods and Klemmer but defence and metres gained we played the best I’ve seen them play. We laid a perfect platform for any half to perform and yet we looked like we were playing a team with 16 defenders on the field. The amount of ball we had on there line and how lost we looked is worrying.

None of this bullshit short turnaround crap or any excuse for that matter, we had a lot more opportunities and a lot more field possession and yet we came home with donuts... man I’m so sick of dogs of bore, just depressing

Everything is disappointing at the moment, long way to go before we see some really good consistent footy from this team!

Footy is such a simple game an yet we can’t even get that right.. we need help an quick.
Last week our attack looked promising an we all thought things were starting to click !

Just so inconsistent one week to the next an the second half point scoring ? Well I don’t have to say anymore about that problem.

I still have faith an always will, but I’ve said it many times..surely somethings gotta give lol

Up the doggs.
