Worth noting west tigers have had a better conversion percentage that penrith for the past 2 years...

Little segue, however despite having the worst attack in the league we actually scored the most tries in the middle 3rd of the field, so our conversions are a lot easier than most.

One knee injury. One. Unless you want to think we gave him Bipolar disorder.

f**king revisionism lol

Comment on Latrell's horrendous injury run all you like but don't you dare besmirch the great GI.

Really? Revisionism huh? The followng screenshot is taken from his profile on the Rugby League Project website (source: https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/players/greg-inglis/summary.html) -

Looking at that, it would appear the only year he appeared in nearly all Souths game's was 2014. I'll grant some of those he missed in some years would have involved being stood down for rep matches. However any under 20 matches in a season makes me think he missed a few in those seasons due to minor ailments/injuries also. Not all injuries have to be like a rupture or torn muscle/ligament.

LOL... so his years at Souths at fullback?

22 games, 20 games, 24 games, 20 games, 20 games, 1 game (ACL), 19 games (return from ACL), 2 games (retired).

Most years he missed 2-3 games due to Origin.

You just proved my point. One injury - a freak non-contact ACL.

2 kicks out on the full. Then the best pass you'll probably see this year. He has some toys and all the boys want to play with Latrell.

I'd rather a week with no bullshit injuries and he just makes a bunch of ball busting charges at centre.

Ahem

Both starting halves out for much of the game too

That game is exactly why he's overrated Well, maybe not overrated, but deserving of the criticism he gets.

He can do shit like that, but then he spends half the game going for miracle 40/20s and kicking out on the full. He's not a good footballer.

Give an Edwards or Gutho or Jye Grey his talent and they're the best player on the planet.

The puff pieces are coming out now


These never end well
He literally did what everyone wanted - shut up and played football. He hasn't said a word to the media or on socials, and people aren't happy. He can't control journos. The bloke can't win.

Wait till origin comes around and he’s needed to win

All the sooking about his best position being centre then when he plays it and puts on match winning play when both halves were out they still complain
