Am i the only one...

am i the only one that thinks peachey is not the right fullback for our team? dont you think he has had his run and now it is time for new talent? do you people watch the games. how many fullbacks score tries from inside passes. slater. campbell. hodgsen. minachello. greensheilds. the list goes on. when was the last time peach scored off an inside pass. how many inside passes does kimmorley dish out. why does peachey stay on the wing and try some flick pass that only works 20% of the time. he scored on the weekend off a bomb, but how many times has he done that. even simmons has had better luck off the bombs...

i respect peachey and his loyalty to the club, but i am also frustrated that the club has gone so long without a premiership and its time to make some changes. maybe rogers and co. have got the right idea about all of this. if we win two more games, that is better than what we did last year, so i dont know why everybody is bagging out raper. i'd like to see one of you fella's get out there and do 1/4 of the job that raper does...

why did we get rid of lang? dont you people think that maybe its not the coach but the players in the team? why did the peach lower himself to go to the media about all this loyalty nonsense.

example; if you owned a business and your nephew was running it down the drain, would you be loyal to the family and keep the nephew, which will ruin your business? or would you give him the boot and hire someone else who can do the job?

probably becuase of the way he was treated.


but i'm sure people saw it coming last year - with a one year contract:roll: . he is in form this year, he wasn't for the last two years (patches). thats disappointing for me, because he is passionate for our club.

two years ago i observed that he wasn't at his best and he's had alot of external issues to deal with outside of the club. now he is palying well.

maybe other people around here know more than me


you gotta love the peach

:(

I agree with parts, yes he isn't the player he was, I was watching some footage the other day and he did some things he doesn't or can't do kinow, but he is stll easily the best fullback we have at the club and I think one more year would have seen him out.

Because I think he is still our best option at fullback.

They keep saying it's a business decision.

In business, you don't get rid of it if you can't replace it with something better.

yeah, thats because we havent had anyone else for the past eleven years. what would you people rate peach to the rest of the fullbacks in the league?

That's not the point.

It doesn't matter what other teams have, only what we have and we have no one better than Peachey.

Merrit is going to Souths

sorry. i forgot about that. who does newtown use as a fullback? i know they use merritt, but is there anyone else? didnt everyone agree that it is time to let the young players have a chance to see what potential they have, and i dont mean give them one game to perfrom either.

Yeah but that's pointless

How do you rate Simmo against the other fullbacks in the league?
