Mate has he been a master signing for anyone yet? Except for a few really good games here and there in his whole life of 1st grade, which got him his rep jumpers, what has the guy really done consistently for any team he has played for? Sure we can all see the raw talent when he decides to use it, but how often has that been?
He has brought all the public criticism he receives onto himself. People should not get all defensive when others bag out a seasonal under achiever who has well and truly massively let down the mates, teams and fans that he has played for, not to mention himself on many, many occasion. I mean even Bennett could not get him to fire consistently.
He in my opinion lacks that inner desire to achieve when it gets to hard and by that I mean hard in the sense of the long term mental and physical demands that professional sport demands from its athletes, but he dreams and wants to be a STAR. So as soon as he plays well and receives the accolades he so covets, he gets lazy again and drops off from the mind set and intensity that got him there in the first place. Then as he has shown us all time and time again, he is the sort of bloke that can't get back again that easily and ends up languishing or just going through the motions till he gats dropped to state cup.
I for one, as I'm sure most others, hope the can wakeup to himself and pull his big fat finger out of his arse and perform as well as we all know he can, not for the obligatory game or two and then rap himself massively as has done in the past and then fail epically there after, but throughout the entire season, which by the way is what he is paid well to do.
Just my opinion.
I'll be happy for anyone that plays for the Eels!!!
