Did anyone see Grant's latest interview on Fox...
I honestly see Hoppa as a consistently solid player who has occasional patches of great form which generate more hype about him than is deserved. If he had those form patches twice as often I'd be willing to jump on his hype train more willingly. But a lot of the time I see him playing well below what I think he's capable of.
I didn't watch it. But I'll keep my expectations about signing either of them in check. It's easy to read more into a player's demeanour in an interview than is there. I've got little doubt that Grant has had better financial offers thrown at him than he's contracted for at Melbourne though. So I'd assume that the thought of taking a payday has been on his mind.
Sorry mate can't agree on Lewis. He is beyond awful in my opinion and I think we've seen what we need to from him, I doubt he gets any better.
Lewis problem is he has a poor attitude and thinks he is better than he is.
I don't expect complete agreement on Lewis. He's given me facepalm moments too. I just don't think the level of criticism is justified. People love a scapegoat though.
If Utai can play hooker and Lewis can be a lock and a centre i dont see why not!
I'm not going to spend the rest of the day trying to change people's opinions on any particular player. I don't know what his team mates think of him. But I can understand why people might see him maintaining an optimistic outlook publicly as him having a high opinion of himself.
youre a very smart man, i quite enjoy your posts
Yeah, sideways.....
Appreciate the compliment. If he fades out of NRL contention I won't cry. But many saw him as the saviour and future of our team based on his first few games a few years ago. No doubt the disappointment that he hasn't lived up to the initial hype shapes many opinions now.
You can say it all you want but you aint convincing anyone especially not the storm.
That's true, but the ones he impressed have also been sacked and let go. I don't like his chances impressing Barrett, with the level of skill he has shown so far.
I think the big problem with both Lewis and Wakeham is that they lack the speed or power to challenge the line. When they have the ball the defence knows they are not a running threat. I would think if you checked their stats they would be lucky to have made any line breaks in their career.
spot on lewis is a turtle, but his main problem is he has no vision, his only try assists have been off set plays. i cant recall him ever setting up a try playing eyes up footy
If C. Smith retires the only reason why they don't keep both is if B. Smith wants to play hooker and they can also only offer Grant big money imo, not B. Smith as well. We can offer both Grant and B. Smith top hooker money (also there's no way the Titans can afford either of them so I hope we stop seeing that link, I'd say Tigers are almost in the same boat too).
