Looks like someone has a grudge. Bagging Ennis out in two different threads.Witness attempted tackle on Justin Poore... very poor! Pardon the pun!!!

I don't have a grudge against ennis. i was excited when we signed him. It was a poor effort on poore, almost embarrasing in fact. and he didn't play well against brisbane.Looks like someone has a grudge. Bagging Ennis out in two different threads.
He does enough to slow the player down for more team mates to come in.http://www.nrl.com/NewsViews/Latest...-Broncos-the-NRLs-new-easy-beats/Default.aspx
I find it hard to believe Ennis fails to complete a tackle effectively almost 1 out of every 5 attempts?!?!
Fair enough. I thought you were bagging him for the sake of it. I do agree he has things to work on.I don't have a grudge against ennis. i was excited when we signed him. It was a poor effort on poore, almost embarrasing in fact. and he didn't play well against brisbane.
At the start of the year, I was on record on this forum saying that I thought he should play origin over farah.... But i have flipped based on some costly things he does. He's still a qualilty hooker imo, just needs to work on a few things in his game.
Yes he is good for us... he'd be number 3 hooker in the comp behind Smith and Farrah.Fair enough. I thought you were bagging him for the sake of it. I do agree he has things to work on.
He seems to make most of his wrong decisions after we make a break. Either going the wrong way or putting in a poor kick. I think he needs to trust Noddy a bit more and look for him after we make a break since it would be easier to see where the space is from halfback then from hooker.
In saying all that I wouldn't trade him for any other hooker. His style of play suits us perfectly.
that's a good point u raise, and also we have good cover defence, in the eveny that someone missess a tackle, ususally we clean it up afterewards, and the other point i'd like to high light, is out of those ineffective tackles, how many have actually directly lead to a try or points scored for the opposition? possibly none or very little.Its a percentage, but compare it over actual game time
He plays 80 minutes of football every week, so he is exposed to missing more tackles
he has to battle alot more fatigue then other hookers

Or OffloadedIts a useless stat, all it means is he made contact. then either dropped off or failed to put the player on the ground.
the stats speak for themselvesThese stats mean nothing when they don't tell you what an ineffective tackle is classed as. And looking at those, Ennis' stats aren't that bad compared to every other position, especially when you take into account that defending in the middle means he has to make more tackles then most.
i dont agree because he does play 80 minutes but he doesnt do too much in defence, i havent taken a look at recent stats but he was averaging only 25-30 tackles a gameIts a percentage, but compare it over actual game time

On the money.Yeah he always misses a few. As does Noddy. But we've been over this tonnes of times and how missed tackles/effective tackles stats etc can be very misleading and overrrated stats because alot of the time these missed tackles don't mean anything with certain players like Ennis and Noddy because the first contact is so good someone else will come in and finish off the tackle, so no harm done.
