Another young bloke being ruined by the powers that be.

If he can’t step it up and prove his worth after being dropped down to reserve grade then how is that the coaching staff’s fault?

Fair point but i think everyone is trying to work out why he was dropped to begin with. Yet terepo and even more bewildering moeroa stay in 1st grade.

Because his defence demonstrated he wasn't fit enough to play the minutes we needed from him.

I'd like to see him given another shot with Brown and possibly Alvaro back (his own fitness pending) later on in the season when his defence is less important than it was without the likes of Brown

Because they are the Coach and if a player is not stepping up maybe he should be coaching him to "step up"...

How does one do that?

That’s not how it works. You can coach a bloke as well as anyone possibly can but if they aren’t willing to put in the work than that’s on the player. I have no idea what’s going on with Kaufusi, but to say that his lack of form in reserve grade is all BA’s fault seems rather ridiculous to me.

He is 19 years old and could still be playing Flegg. If he can’t handle a bit of time in reserve grade then that’s on him tbh.

We were told the same with the likes of Matterson and Twal?? Is it the young. Blokes fault or the coach and his staff. But if you are being constantly left out while blokes like Penis hands and Tep constantly stink it up it’s not hard to lose heart. Young blokes seem to get lost in our system while other clubs seem to have no problem blooding young blokes successfully into their team.

Revisionist history.

Matterson was an ordinary five-eighth doing very little in the lower grades and reportedly unwilling to shift positions despite most people realising he was never going to make it as a six. Twal was always good in lower grades. The problem was he's EXACTLY the same kind of prop every merkin said we had too many of. You included! If anything Twal was even smaller than the ones you lot were whinging about.

They're no better or worse than the players we kept instead. Merkins just confuse form/fitness with ability.

Here's Twal's numbers from the weekend:

58 minutes
8 runs for 59 metres
47 tackles, 0 missed

So, basically he's 2018 Alvaro.

Matterson has been pretty good, but the club hopping indicates he wants everything his own way. There's probably not a lot of value in him.

Why is anyone talking about Twal????????????????

Materson I can understand would make a good 13 but there is a reason why the Roosters didn't keep him..

 

[Gazzamatta]

Cause they think Crighton is better.

Crighton is one of the most overrated players in the game.

 

[Happy MEel]

Crighton is one of the most overrated players in the game.

Spot on. He’s an average first grader and nothing more. I wouldn’t give up Mau or Lane for Crighton.

[hineyrulz]

That’s Seffa Paulo and Luke Kelly all over again.

At least it's in reserves but gee that halves combo above certainly gives u the shivers

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's f**ken reserve grade! Would you prefer Rhys Davies and Henry Raiwalui?
