100% mate m and the poor bloke has just got out of quarantine, come into the side running last and has never played with any of the players. I was waiting for the “wahhh sack Averillo wahhh” thread after he missed that penalty today
We are just shit. He played well against you guys in the WCC in a well drilled team where he knew his role
Spot on
I'm sorry but if you're the highest paid middle forward in the team part of your job is to set that platform not just wait for others to do it.
Bingo, you’re one of the few that actually get it.
Like I said in a previous reply it almost seems like he's waiting for the right moments to run like after a quick play the ball or in the opposition red zone but someone needs to take those hard hit ups on the 1st or 2nd tackle as well
To be honest I was expecting someone like James Greham but he seems more like Tolman, Maybe he thinks that's the way he's supposed to play, Also I was expecting a much bigger man lets hope he snaps out of it, once Barrett gets to him.
He is not that type of player and never was in the super league where here his much bigger partner did the grunt work. If you have watched him in the super league he is much more like a Boyd Cordner then a battering ram. His pay has nothing to do with the fact that he is being asked to perform a role he is not suited to.
Was Renouf dropped or does he have a shoulder injury? Cause if he was dropped SG has absolutley lost his marbles! In my opinion RT has been our most consistent forward this year! Hurry up and save us Mr Barrett!
they all had shockers
Maybe if the played him at prop he could.
Yep I'm aware Walmsley was more the battering ram but his role is going to be different here
Explain to me how it’s hypocritical? It was a genuine question and you should probably engage in the topic and actually address it instead of throwing ad hominem.
Not sure what jersey number has to do with taking hit ups, there's not a lot of distinction between lock and prop these days, most people just call them middles. Watch pat Carrigan from the Broncos, he's technically a lock but in reality is just a smaller more mobile prop who makes 150m a game in a struggling team
I agree this half season stint won't do him any harm. I'm not going to judge him harshly after his immediate preparation was 2 weeks in isolation, plus he's shown enough to say he'll be a lot better with a full pre-season, some better quality around him and good coaching. No need to panic IMO.
