Yeah good move replacing Crap like Peterson with a promising youngster :roll:

WHY IS THIS GUY EVEN PLAYING FIRST GRADE, HE'S SO CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

And don't take my word for it, watch it for yourself tonight, watch him miss tackles, drop the ball, get bundled into touch, come running out of the line, possess no threat the opposition!!!

Amen to that. What is Smith's compulsion for always having an accident looking for a place to happen in his teams? From Herron to Carige to Kusto to McFadden to Peterson, it's like a friggin dynasty, the man is obsessed with them :roll:

I never really noticed before at half time and so far:
Missed tackles - Check
Bundled into touch - Check
Dropped ball - Check

I noticed when Hindy scored, it looked like he was going to offload, noticed Peterson was there, though better of it and scored himself.

Actually I thought Petersen was the pick of the 4 wingers out there.

I think Rooney and Graham were having a private contest to see who can finish the game with the least touches of the ball.

I'll give credit where credit's due, Peterson played pretty well for us tonight :clap:

If he plays like that more often i'll have to move onto another player :mrgreen:

Played his heart out and those bombs are not easy to firstly get above your opposing player, catch, and then get to the ground with you still having the ball. He shows 110% all the time but his skills do lack in certain areas. These can be fixed with further 1st grade.

Oh, and how is that? If you don't have the skill you can't just go out and create it, if were as simple as that we'd have a team of A Johns.
Peterson is exactly the same today as when he first joined the Eels and I will forever be apprehensive whenever he comes anywhere near the play. He has the knack of making very simple things look very complicated.

He tries hard which is more than i can say for half the team a few weeks back. I admit he lakcs a lot of skill which comes to players naturally however i stress my point that his so enthusiastic bout everything. but yes i would prefer grothe 100 times over. But grothe is injured.

I'm quite sure on at least a couple of occasions Luke Burt dropped back for the kick return rather than Peterson. Anyone else notice that?

Whatever you say about Peterson, he is a very good finisher. And I put that down to his sheer enthusiasm. He just desperately wants to get over the line.

If Burt can drop back to bring the ball back from kicks more often, it takes out one of the weaknesses of Peterson's game...

Even for his follies, Peterson is still a class above Anderson, who is still very green, and definitely needs more time in premmies..

Yessss more time in premmies is need however Throman at halfback is the issue i say. He is not Parramattas future and sicne we have signed Smith he will be our next half so leave him at half. Dont undertsand our developmental management.
