Why do we always get the weird players?

Nasheed here,
I don't know about weird, but you are dead right about the slowest.

No other team consistently has the weirdest and most unskilled players come through the grades or bought than us.

Idris - one of the worst defensive players outside of Okunbur to play the game and his attack with that weird running gait sucked. Took the absolute piss with the drop out too.

Okunbur - strange rushing in style player who cannot catch a ball luckily he is going to be sacked.

JMK literally played several games without throwing a pass in the halves, how he came through the grades and they thought that was his spot is beyond me.

and now

Lewis - everything is extremely hard, no one else plays such a slow style (and not the 90s slow Jason Smith style either) like this player, one of the most awkward and untalented players to step on the football field. Lewis is the worst of the lot.

Honorable mentions go to every single slow centre and winger we have ever had.
Do you consider a professional footballer not playing on Sundays weird despite the fact they had played on Sundays before they had signed with us?

Idris played origin and for Australia. And also had games in first grade where he dominated Inglis and Tahu. Think that says it all

We have all this money to spend for 2021.....if we don’t buy a quality half hooker centre and winger we are stuffed.....we honestly to get rid of the plodders
Why did you say that in response to a post about Hollland?

Getting into origin isn't as hard as you think nowadays with half the company English, Samoan, New Zealander, Lebanese and Tongan or from WA.
Of the half that are eligible, only half are NSW.
Early 2010s origin selections were known for picking big *****.
Idris was not a good player. Awkward and slow. He had his moments though

In the 70s early 80s Gary Hughes was the slowest five eight in the comp but he was extremely clever with ball - unfortunately Lewis is not good with the ball.
'Better brakes' was slow on the ground but quick between the ears. Great ball player who could at least envisage a few plays ahead...

Think you might be disappointed here. The best halves that are off contract this year are Benji and Foran. The best hookers are Cam Smith and Jake Friend. I highly doubt that our spine will be upgraded with players who are off contract this year. Hopefully there will be disgruntled players looking for an opportunity who get released early

We have the war chest let's hope they make the right calls and not just upgrade the players we have now due to loyalty!
