I actually agree with Saint Jimmy. I don't believe Rein was ever our problematic player. I do think he was playing with an inadequate squad at the time and seemed to be the scapegoat for all our woes. Marketo on the other hand..I don't agree.
You don't have to agree with me.
Agree to disagree. He played with what was given to him which wasn't much tbh.
The big question is how much you put on them.
I didn't say that everyone else was the problem either. Most of the team failed to fire over the last couple of years. I just don't like the fact that it was pinned on a couple of players mate.
We would not be going nearly as well with Rein at hooker. The way he stifled creativity he could have turned Leonardo Da Vinci into an actuary.
This is like saying a Porsche 911 isn't an upgrade on a Kia Carnival.
Better than Kurt Mann? Really?
He was frustrating to watch. Sometimes I thought he was brilliant...most of the time he was plain dumb.
$100 mate, and that's the biggest gamble I've ever been involved in since asking my ex wife to marry me ! First time I've backed us to win a premiership, not that I thought we'd even finish top 8 just couldn't resist the odds.
The second one!!!
He wasn't a 'good hooker'. He did some good things in games where we were on top, but he did more harm. His decision making was horrible, and gave him a tendency to run at the least convenient times. Passing was average, and defence was ok in numbers, but often poor in technique. Running was very good when he picked his moments.
