LOL. Thanks for reminding me. Every time we see JAC scorching down the field, we must remember Jordan Rankin.
"There is no place in my team for elusiveness, speed and such" . . . J. Taylor

But "he makes mistakes "so some of WT's supporters would bang on about .
Weststiger's mistake in NOT keeping him is a 1000 times bigger then any mistake JAC ever made on a rugby league field. I know whats done is done but watching him carve up teams every week knowing he should be here f**king kills me , and will until the day he retires.

Agree with u.Regarding Thompson although his on the small side which makes him a target of opposition kickers he more than makes up for this by the quality of the rest of his game.His a tough little bugger who puts his body on the line in defence & can certainly sniff out a try.

Although Fonua is a beast his poor lateral movement & poor defensive reads along with Nofa’s illiteracy in defence places these 2 at the bottom
of pecking order re our outside backs vying for selection in the team.

Certainly very curious as to who our 2-5 will b for opening game coz this is clearly the thinnest part of our squad re quality.Hence won’t b surprised to find Benji in the centres.

The player I’m expecting to b a major improver & give Madge a pleasant headache re selecting the 17 is McQueen.He has a major point to prove as the impostor Cleary treated him with disdain whereas there’s much respect between mcqueen & his previous coach Madge.

To demonstrate what an arrogant inept prick Cleary is he didn’t speak to mcqueen for 6 months & at the end of season review McQueen’s team-mates had to hold him back from belting the merkin.

Why did McQueen want to belt him ?
I wish we still had Matt Utai playing for us. Horrible in the air etc but no one better at running the ball back for us. Used to always beat at least one guy or bust a tackle. Maybe we can use Fonua in the pack. Just point him towards the posts and say run towards them and don't stop till you get under 'em.

At a review towards end of season when the fraudster Cleary got to mcqueen all he said in front of the squad was that he hadn’t spoken to him for 6 mths & that mcqueen ought to go away & work out y.

Also Packer had a falling out with the shitbag Cleary towards end of season.

Maybe he knew the knob jockey was pissing of back to the riff

But in saying that.. they both under performed so perhaps they couldn't accept the fact they were told they are shithouse.. Packer at least won Cleary captains badge draw... which to be honest didnt deserve ..
But it all points to the coach being just as shithouse at the end of the day.

I’d say Packers issue with Cleary would’ve been the double standards & backflipping on his contract with us after enticed Packer over the B/S rhetoric around being on the bus loyalty & integrity.

Rankin getting selected ahead of JAC was a perfect example of how Jason Taylor had no f###ing idea at what he was doing at the WT.

Wanted to play safe conservative football, and try to win games 10-8. If stories are true he also told Richards to stop his spiral bomb kick offs.

 

[gordsy]

Hopefully packer pulls his finger out this year or madge forces him too. Falling out or not his form was rubbish towards the end of the year.

The game we lost 8-0 to the Origin depleted cowboys on a freezing Saturday night at Campbelltown was close to the lowest point of my supporting this club. When Paul Green said ‘at halftime we were up 2-0 and I told the guys I thought that might be enough’ it felt like a personal insult.

 

[simmo05]

He was hired for his defensive approach wasnt he?? What a dead set gimp....

That was a horrifying display. One of the worst NRL level losses in decades and the ushering in of the pathetic "Taylorball" game plan that embarrassed us all.

 

[benched tiger]

No spiral kick offs but how can we forget those useless mid field bombs that made 10m on the last that gave the ball back to the opposition,usually uncontested and in good field position.

Great news, now we have some decent pressure on our backs, not sure what his defence is like, but to me he looks like a centre.

If he is a centre and can fill that left centre spot it's really good.

Signed to play centre apparently
