But do you feel better?

FYI, most people would understand Footy IQ relates to creativity. By brain explosions, I was referring to his temperament - fine on the wing but not in your spine.

Sorry to upset you Mr (or Mrs) Watene-Zelezniak.

Footy IQ would usually relate to a players decision making. Not creativity. Brain snaps and so on. Will Smith and his brain explosions... waqa Blake last year. Just coming up with dumb mistakes on low percentage plays. Or even being a hothead like DWZ can do at times.

BJ Leilua is creative. Likewise with SKD. But they have no footy brain and can do really stupid shit. The good outweighs the bad usually. But they can lose you games single handedly.

Mate, seriously sorry you're so upset over this. That's the way I intended it and its definitely an area (as well as his temperament) for improvement that I see in DWZ's game before he can be a genuine consideration for fullback.
I read your apology and interpreted a fair amount of sarcasm. If your apology was genuine - my bad, my apology to you.
As for the rest of your abuse, mate, if you think I'm going to stop posting because you've cracked the shits, not gonna happen.

Not arguing MX. At this stage I have DWZ in the BJ/SKD mold. Can create through his athletic ability but not sure he can create through footy IQ for his team against a structured defence.

I think having aggression at fullback would be an asset. Sure it might backfire at times. So can having a guy who takes shit on the chin though. DWZ gets fired up and runs hard into the line. It builds his confidence up.

Last year he steamrolled Glenn Stewart and it really fired him up. He gave him a bit of shit after it. I loved that.

If you genuinely meant that(I don't think so) it was unclear(footy iq, seriously?) and you are a f**king imbecile, keep going i don't give two shits. The one time I actually tried to be halfway mature and apologise for a misunderstanding and you react that way from now no more reasonable betcats hahaha :wink:

Agree 100 percent, if he actually was hurting us with penalties or dropped balls then I would care about him being so hotheaded but as far as I can recall he doesn't give away many penalties and he even wins us the odd penalty that we might not deserve and he doesn't make many handling errors, the worst thing I can remember him doing this season is getting caught up pushing Josh Reynolds from marker before chasing back and attempting a tackle on a guy who scored and that was round 2 I think. Outside of that his form dropped for the middle part of the season but that seems to be improving.

I bagged DWZ after the Warriors game and it was the bottom of a downward trajectory. Since then his form has improved considerably. He has a great ticker and doesnt mind mixing it with the forwards, love his 'f' you attitude. Not sure he is at 100% yet after his lung problem. That break he made was the first time he has showed some fitness this season.

Blake has a bit of mongrel too, sometimes he just manhandles guys in defence and monsters them.

Like I said before, I read your apology with sarcasm - that was my mistake and I apologised for that. You want to continue it, thats up to you.

Yeah Blake really is an incredible athlete. Size, strength, speed and footwork he has it all in spades, the way he shut the gate on Addo Carr for that first try was impressive. I know JAC is faster but Waqa was quick enough to make give up almost straight away, he has serious top end speed.

Congratulations to the coach. We're almost certainly playing finals in his first season. Are we all excited?
( For the record, everyone here talks shit except me.) (wink).

JFH is the other guy who has mongrel in him. I expect him to be an agitator and enforcer of sorts as he gets more comfortable in first grade.

Totally. He has already busted the elbows of three guys in our own team by coming in hard into tackles!
