Inu

[Rich102]

From everything I have read about this it is something that could be solved in an adult way.
I am surprised the CEO isn't involved, after all it a lot of salary cap being wasted.

Maybe every time they try to confront Inu, he covers his eyes with his hands and says "if I can't see you, you can't see me!"

, according to someone on here, a pillow fight at 3am. No, we can't play him. He's a bad egg

*cough 4am... on a Monday morning... smh...:crazy:

haha

I'm assuming that the pillow fight commenced at 3am and it took you an hour to get fed up enough to get out of bed.

Normally, an hour is a long pillow fight. But these guys are professional athletes.

I do like your FACT good to see you are getting into the spirit of things!

With or without Inu, we should have won both those games.
It's fairly common consensus that Manu cost us the first game and Ta'ai the second.

We had poor defending as a team throughout both games, in fact most of the busts were made in the middle of the park.
Not to mention or horrendous handling and poor discipline.

FACT remains: there is obviously a good reason he's not being picked; this is even more obvious when 90% of fans can see that Inu would bring a lot to our team's performance. I'm 100% certain the Warriors management can see what we see.

FACT: There are other team this year that have lost when they should have won...FACT there are other teams that have had slow starts...FACT there are other teams that have been so called title favourites and had REAL hidings...FACT Inu is one guy and last time I looked it is a team sport...FACT Bluey has a hat that says "Coach" and has done so for several teams before this one...and I am interested to know how many accusing him of not being able to coach have actually got a hat too, to be able to speak from experience...;-)

**** me, first there was 'Rumble in the jungle', now we got the 'Venom for McClennon!'
To suggest the guy can't coach is over the top. Let the guy have a decent stretch before the boot goes in. I know people are unhappy with the Inu issue, but to suggest he's the be all and end all- and the coach is incompetant for not picking him- is really stretching it.

 

[Rich102]

Agree with most of what you have said.

My main gripe is Bluey's statement that he was going to select on form not reputation.

How can you select SloRo on form?
And whatever is keeping Inu out isn't form - at least not on-the-field form.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Simple case of playing favourites, and I know Cleary copped it when he played favourites with guys like Rovelli and McKinnon when they were past it, so why can't McClenna cop criticism too?

Plus the Ben Henry at centre thing is still stupid, in case people have forgotten about that. And his use of the interchange bench.

 

[Izz]

I don't like wearing hats. They spoil the fro.

Actually I do understand what he was saying, although I do not agree with it. Maloney explained it better on his half hour show that follwed the Bluey interview.
In McClennons eyes, he considers Ropati the better longer term option, despite being a gallop or two short and lacking form- The 'premium center' as he put it, with consistancy when fully fit.
While, on the other hand he considers Inu somewhat erratic, a bit hot and cold, brilliant sometimes, hair tearing the next.
Now- I emphasise I don't agree, but that is what he believes, how Maloney explained it. It does seem contradictory as Manu has that 'Inu-ism' too- Hot and cold. Maybe he thinks you can't have too many hot and colders in the side!

Absolutely, of course criticism is okay, and Bluey shouldn't be able to use his 'sentimental fave' badge to be exempt from it.
My point, is it is round three. Maybe he's still trying things, like swopping Manus wing. There's a fine line between what makes you a hero and a bad guy. And I don't recall Cleary copping it from three games in to a new role, IMO that is incredibly harsh. But maybe he is at the Pandas, Lol, I don't know.
I just believe a new coach should be given a few weeks grace to sort things out, and see how it goes. Then- if it's all gone pear shaped, I'll be on the picket line with you!

I recall when I lived in Bris for a while, one coach over there getting bollocked for snubbing a player, then sacking him. Fans were calling for the coach to be sacked.
The Club was the Broncos, the coach was Bennett and the player was Lewis. I was one calling for Bennetts head!:lol:
IMO you have to give em some time...

So yeah, I watched the Vulcans game and Inu was pretty average tbh.

He certainly wasn't demanding first grade selection. As opposed to the Fish, who is screaming for a shot.

Based on what Ropati did versus what Inu did, I'd say Ropati's spot is safe and rightly so.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Didn't seen much of the Vulcans so can't comment on Inu but I do find it funny how Ropati is getting praise. He went from being absolute shit to putting in a performance that would be expected of an NRL centre, and he's getting praised for it. But yeah Ropati will be there next week, was resigned to that fact even before the Titans game.

 

[hitman82]

I'm not saying Ropati was amazing, hence why he didn't make my top 3. But he was good, as he should be. And based on this latest "good" form, he should be selected again next week =)

I watched the game and thought Inu went well.
He gave a lovely pass to set up Fish's first try. His hands throughout, on a wet day, were exceptional.
He drifts in and out of games, but he is a freakish talent.

He looks bored. He needs someone to motivate him.
If, as has been suggested, Bluey isn't communicating to well with some players this could be pary of the problem. He is feeling left out and on the outer.

The kid can't win.

He smiles, he gets dropped.

He looks bored, he gets dropped.

I saw Ozbash gave him 3 points, but aside from that I haven't seen too much praise for him. Henry was better.

Yeah see that is what I saw too. Inu had maybe 3 nice runs, 2 or 3 nice passes and made a few nice tackles.

The rest of the time he was MIA bigtime. And that is why he doesn't deserve to make first grade.

You'd think, knowing this game was televised, the guy would go hardnuts to play as well as possible and earn his spot. Clearly lacking something up top huh.

That last statement is a big "if"... I haven't heard that particular rumour, but I've heard f**kloads about Inu being a lazy immature shit.

 

[vvvrulz]

Looking bored? He always looks bored! That's his style, he collects bombs and sets up play as if he is relaxing in Rarotonga. A more optimistic observer would call it having a cool head.

 

[Meth]

We've been through this so many times.

Put him in the NSW cup and he will look disinterested.

Put him in first grade and he will be your best centre and do freakish things that get you to Grand Finals.
