No it didn't. Edwards went to hooker when Mahoney went off and Karl stayed at 5/8 before being replaced at 5/8 by Rajab. If Karl was going any good he wouldn't have been moved from 5/8, Mahoney had nothing to do with any of it, FACTOS.
Karl has crippled our right edge far more than Flanagan ever did and he's doing NOTHING to help Burton. Watching him take a few extra kicks last week was so damn forced and only hurt the team as he had fuck all distance on them and put them straight down the oppositions throat.
The development and treatment of our halves has been an absolute disaster this season. Karl is not a halfback and the whole experiment at halfback in reserve grade was a complete failure and only resulted in him playing away from his strengths. He then gets promoted because Flanagan is hopeless, our 5/8 then shifts to halfback and Karl to 5/8 where he does absolutely nothing and looks so damn indecisive and scared that he won't even run which is clearly his biggest strength. Meanwhile we've got Rajab who appears to be the only damn half who understands the concept of playing direct and engaging the line playing everywhere BUT halfback.
I'm fucking tired man, how much fucking longer do we have to fucking wait for this club to get its shit sorted? We've spent all this money and supposedly still have money to send this year yet we can't even buy a single halfback? Even a stopgap in Cogger would be better than what we've got ffs.
