Troy, I don't know if you've seen him play this year.
But I have.
Very disappointing.
Best years are behind him.
He suffers from a bad back.
It has limited his aggression these days and agility.
He is taking the ball up soft.
He is very slow.
And he only puts on the occassional big hit in defence.
His contract is up and I doubt if the Sharks will resign him.

More aggressive younger guys should get a call up to first grade than 'Old Beats'.

He has been injured. He will be back on the bench in 1st grade some time this year. His attitude is far too good not to be.

He'll have a run in reggies this week Beats just needs a bit of game time under his belt. He got KO then he copped two weeks for a headbutt, then he injured his knee at training. He'll be back I'll give him a call tonight

Heard a rumour from someone that Beattie might have been saying there is a bit of unharmonious banter around the players regarding team selection.

Beattie reminds me of Nutley a bit, ie gives away many dumb penalties and drops alot of ball.

Wouldnt surprise me if he said that, seeing as he's now a reserve grader!!

Someone else reported him (obviously going by the clues), reporting the faults in other players. e.g Williams tackles too low.

A bit of competition for spots can't be a bad thing. It wouldn't worry me if Beattie is on his way out.
