I basically think that we haven't had a star studded backline since Eric returned to Parramatta, and now we do, he is no longer accepted by a lot of supporters. Parra fans always need someone to cut down, and since Burty's having a stellar year and then got injured, the decide to target Eric. He's not doing anything differently to when he was the golden boy only 2-3 years ago, but no one will dare say a bad word about Inu and Hayne because they can produce a chip kick every now and then. ;-)
Any other team would kill for EGJ in their backline, or our entire backline for that matter but Parra fans are never satisfied with their own team.
I think the criticism is extremely boring, and after the game he had on Friday, unfair too.
