lol

"Coach says I can play if we have 7 or 8 injuries so I'm pretty excited about that"

"...Ropati will be back next week and to keep training hard in case we have 20 injuries to key players and we can't palm you off to the Sharks or another **** club"

"I get paid $300,000 to clean boots.... I've looked on seek for other jobs but they weren't paying as much"

What do you mean? That Ackerman character has come out a few times and said its because McClennan doesn't think he shows enough effort on the training pitch and because they reckon he doesn't take enough hit ups.

What I mean, bluntly, is I do not believe that and do not accept that. Is that the same prob ALL the coaches have had with him? ALL of them?
I think that's crap, there has to be more to it. An attitude that we don't see maybe...
I don't know, that's why I'm asking. The above reason does not seem enough for all coaches to have an issue...unless said coaches have told him to increase his output and he's told them to get ****ed.:)

Lets be honest here though, the only two coaches to have some sort of problem with him have been Cleary and McClennan. Anderson had him in the side in their grand final season right? He dropped him fo some games in th 2010 I think but the that was the year where the majorty of their side played rubbish. I think Mateo might have even been dropped too maybe.

Everyone is saying Inu isnt playing because he has "training issues". At the end of the day, he isnt paid $300K to train - he's paid to win games for the team, and based off his performances in the finals last year (especially against the Tigers) he's earned his pay cheque and should be in the playing side this year.

Ropati on the other hand - the first two tries against the doggies last Sunday were due to him (he even admitted it!). Where's the accountability for those stupid decisions he made? what message is Bluely sending to his team? work hard at training, and I'll forgive you if you screw up during the game? screw me - its like telling a smart kid at school (who already knows the answer to all the maths problems) to work harder because the rest of the class has to. Wheres the logic in that?

I really hope Bluely isnt an "all talk no brains" type of coach eg Frank Endocott - no offense to the guy - but he doesnt look, sound or act like one of the smartest people I have ever come across eg again, Frank Endocott.

First of all, that clip is brilliant. I thought it'd be rubbish but it was bang on. Especially like the 'I'm looking forward to seeing you back on the field when we run out of second rowers to convert to the centres and you make it back on the bench and get a 20-minute run'

Secondly, heard Brian - I'm not going to call him by his nickname until he starts bucking up his ideas - on Firstline this morning. He said Inu had a disappointing 20min v the Eels and needs a full 80m in Vulcans.

But um, didn't he play the trials in full? Same as Henry (who may not have even played in the centres then, I'm unsure) etc? We still aren't getting the truth. He had an opportunity to pick him in round one and wasn't interested. And showed his hand by playing Inu in the Vulcans for one of the trial weeks - may have been when we went to Coffs Harbour?

I criticised the guy late last year (Inu) and he still frustrates me. But I guarantee he's a better option than Henry.

Yeah, that's rubbish. Inu spent that 20 minutes bending the advantage line and stepping inside his man. Looked likely to bust through every time he got the ball. Plus putting in a few heavy knocks on defense. Neither Benry nor Hurrell are up to hitting their opposite hard yet. He had one error.

If we go by BluesClues logic, then Ta'ai shouldn't be in the team this week, and needs 160 minutes in the Vulcans (which is what should be happening, imo).

That's rubbish. He got barely any ball and the most he could do was look busy and hungry, which he did. He was a ghost at worst.

Now JBro on the other hand.... did he play the full 80?

Hahaha, I am loving this whole saga just for the indignation it's causing with you guys.

Hot tip: Ropati to have a blinder vs the Titans.
