Sorry, for the sake of clarity on my part, it’s been a dreadful performance across the board. But Iongi is well and truly part of that.

People don’t seem to realise the part that the fullback plays in organising the defensive line. That is far and away the most important thing Gutherson did for us for years. The lack of his leadership is being shown tonight. How is that a controversial statement?
Seriously mate you need to take a breath .. your obsession with our fullback is unhealthy
For most of us we are thrilled he is with us yet for some ungodly reason you have chosen to prove to all of us your apparent superior knowledge of rugby league by proving one of best young players is hopeless and the cause of all the bad things.
you are really making your self look stupid

No I don’t. What I’m saying is it’s irrelevant to footy. He is not a convicted criminal but morally flawed. When it comes to footy it’s irrelevant.


OUR COACH AGREES WITH ME. Now f**k off.
I don’t think he said it was relevant. You asked why he’s a prick.

Anyway, if we judged signing on moral character there’s a lot of blokes we’d never look at. At the price, he’s low risk and he’s still performing well.

6 players missing from our first choice 17 tonight.

next game vs panthers could be 8 from 17 out with Kelma and Williams possibly suspended. 9 out if Lomax doesn’t back up or make it through origin fit

Buddy, Simmonson, Morretti and Sam Tuivaiti are all chances to play next game.

Simmonson is in, Sam is probably and Morretti possible

You merkins have lost any sense of perspective when it comes to him and pretend he’s infallible. If discussion of our performances involves Iongi’s contribution, then it’s fair game to discuss. His defensive work in the first half was very ordinary last night. I’ll leave it at that.

Kelma had 16 runs for 152m and 42 tackles, 1 line break, 3 tackle breaks and 2 offloads.

if we win the game he’s hailed as having a fantastic game

he may have had a overall poor season, but he was our best forward tonight, and was pretty handy last week too
I get what your saying.

His potential is there with the ball and can be damaging.

But I have seen enough now over the past 18 months his defence and discipline cant be fixed.

He offers 1 brain fart nearly every half of footy with or without the footy.

And if you cant trust him in defence then long term you don't want him out there in a semi final

For example a defensive type of game like we saw on Thursday night that wins premierships. I just dont think Kelma is someone you can trust in a game like that.
