I can wash my mouth out afterwards but my sentiments on this at the moment are 'stuff the Blues....he needs to be given more opportunity to show what he can do for the benefit of the Knights!'
I agree with that but....what chance have we of making the 8 this year ? let alone a Premiership tilt.
Yep, 100%. I think if Ramien can string 1 or 2 good performances together it should get the nod
He hasn't been able to show his strike because our right side attack is so lethargic and he's got the human handbrake in Barnett inside him. Every time he gets the ball it's right at the line after going through 4 sets of hands or from a player crabbing sideways instead of quick, early ball with room to manoeuvre
are there any websites where we can compare good detailed stats (best left and right attacking teams etc etc ) ? or is there only the basics like FOX and NRL.com offer
agree, If we compare Barny's personal stats they are very similar to Angus Crichton and we all know he's being talked up as a SOO player. The issue is the 5/8.
Whilst you are right that Watson is a problem too there are instances where you need your edge backrower to have clean hands especially with the number of teams that play up and in in D. Yesterday Hopoate was able to score because the defence came up quick but Josh Jackson was able to catch and pass quickly right to Hopoate, Barnett doesn't have that ability, also Barnett doesn't pose much of an attacking threat which means he's never going to get the outside man jamming in, teams know they can mark up one on one, on the left teams are wary of Fitzy as a ball runner and the outside defenders want to jam in which creates space
