That’s my point. You can get picked in these teams if the selectors or the star players like you. Because there’s not 17 genuine stars to fill these rep teams. There might be a dozen genuine stars and so they need to pad out the team with solid first graders. If the team wins, the bloke is suddenly an incumbent and likely to get picked again.

So your point is he isnt average and you are wrong?

Losing Russell is what lost us the arm wrestle. Wests made metres at will down our right side after he left the field. As for the sin bin, what's it for if not to punish teams for foul play?
I dare say had Russell not knocked the other bloke out at the same time, he too would've also been sin binned.

The fact is both actions occur most weeks and 99 times out of 100 there is no sin bin. It was lucky Simonsson got injured or we'd have likely lost far easier and by a lot more. The Tigpies were well in control to that point.

For a head clash? No chance.

We would've been better off without Russell for 10 minutes than for the 52. We would've been better with Simonsson in that last 25 minutes as well. Losing edge defenders mid-game is the kiss of death, and the reason we lost.

A lot of hate out there on twitter for 60s.

I think there is a language filter on here so probably cant repost some of the replies but gee he copped it from Tigers fans and in general for his tirade last night he posted on twitter.

Apprantley he even called out a forum member on here.
