Below are some quotes taken from Blacktip-Reefy on Brett Kimmorley,
Whilst I agree Noddy didn't have a good game. I think the comments are way off the mark and are totally uncalled for. While noody will cop a bagging in some sections of the league world, I think sticking the boot in to our captain a man who puts in 100% for our club every week is in bad taste. I would't swap the man for any other half back. To say he hasn't performed at the highest level is wrong!
These are his quotes-
MY issues with Noddy are
1. He plays too flat.
2. He talks himself up too much in an arrogant way that his natural abilities cant support, like mundines talents can support.
3.His kicking game is too steered & does not include enough starch for distance.
4. He is too formula orientated. Too scripted. Too predictable for big games.
Once the script is disrupted, he loses his way.
5. He cannot pass left to right. Therefore our left side is redundant.
Noddy played well when he played under Lazzos booming instructions.
Noddy played poorly all through the semis that year. They got whooped by 40 points by stgeorge in their first semi. It was a critical time for melbourne with lazzo blowing up at Hill & Kimmorley against Opes calls. Strained an already unworkable relationship even further.
As for me being exposed as a Kimmorley hater, that is just a rebuff by the BK "cant do a thing wrong brigade".
I have always had question marks over his ability at the elite level of which he clearly has failed 6 times. Questions marks over his tactics & style mainly.
That is 3 more chances than aitken has had at NRL level & 2 more games than Sully has played at half for the Sharks. Some BK supporters are quick to bag both of those players.
We are a good team with Kimmorley in the side & we stand a better chance with him than without him no doubt.
However, as it seems we will be looking at being part of the finals this year, are there no discussion points about the failure at the elite level by our key player?
