Clubs arnt throwing themselves at him. I don’t get it ??.... Any other half who just won a premiership and a State championship would have every club in Aus and UK falling over each other to get his thumb print on the canvas. I’m baffled. I get his age but fuck, he is a half. He can play for another 5 years.
I am 32 and played against Blake Green, so he’s obviously my age and look at him. He’s getting better with age.
Because unlike everyone that cracks a stiffie over everything that he does, other clubs are seeing him like the impartial people are.
I've watched him for a few seasons in NSW Cup (even when he was at the Jets). Nothing much has changed.
He often is only seen 40 minutes a game. The other 40 he goes missing.
He cannot organise/take control of a game, and is more an individual.
He often races out of the line in defence, and if he doesn't stick or wrap up the ball, it creates an overlap and generally a try against us.
He can at times go the glory play and stuffs up a try.
He can't count to 5 and 5th tackle options are woeful.
Yeah he does some great things (won us the game today with his 2 tries), but you have to look at the good with the bad. Earlier this season on 2 occassions our team was level peggings. In the final 20 minues of the game instead of calling for the ball and trying to sink a field goal, instead he'd go the glory play. Both games we lost by 1 point as a result.
Cogger is an organiser. Unfortunately surplus to requirements as so is Foran and Lewis. We need a Cleeland in the team. Someone who roams the field like a nomad and plays what he sees in front of him. No one better in the lower grades than Cleeland IMO.
Wait till Wakeham is left to ball run. Cleeland will be a distant memory.
