Matthew Head - Gumby

[dubopov]

He is sh*t .. we will never be a threat with him at half. His kicking game is f**ked, he can't pass to the right, he doesn't run the ball and is a defensive liability. Appalling performance.

 

[Dragon]

Yep, pretty much sums him up. Couldn't believe my ears hearing Brandy Alexander saying Soward will be the one dropped from the halves, with a Head/Hornby combo come rd1... fair dinkum

Obviously Alexander wants us to f**k up

 

[mightydragon]

Ben Hornby will come in and Head will be playing for Shellharbour

Someone chop his f*cking legs off..........How many times did he kick instead of pass. he has always been an "all or nothing' risk taker. So many times tonight, if he had just passed the ball, we would have had a couple more shots at them. Why don't we ever go for repeat sets. we are close to the the worst in the league for this.

The amount of momentum he gave souths with his defence. All he did was jump on them and let them carry him 15 metres upfield, get a quick play the ball and then roll on over us. his defence is such a liability, that even when he makes a tackle he cannot dominate.

He killed us tonight.............How come this guy has come back to haunt us??????

Brandy has big raps for Head and deservedly so as he was outstanding prior to his injury woes. If he can recapture that same form he will be awesome for the Dragons. Brandy was a great player in his day and for him to rap Head that much he must definatley see potential. I hope Head has a good season.

 

[natheel]

i have no idea why you guys bought him back from tigers aye

where was hornby for you guys? i thought he and soward would have first crack at halves???

 

[Gaba]

A bad game had to come sooner then later, it was good it was in this match may wake them up

 

[dragonfire]

Hornby is injured, Head has the talent its just that he doesnt have the legs after the knee injuries

 

[blackberryman]

Easy on Head.

remember "impressive head drives dragons home" ?


The team had freak all attack last night and our defense was off, they weren't on song from the start. I think we should be looking at the bigger picture hear, and that individuals weren't to blame.

To be honest, it should have been 40-6, we were lucky.

If you are blaming head in attack then you can blame dell in defense and we could be hear all day but the sad fact is they all weren't there for a win, maybe stage fright, who knows.

All as I know is that this is a massive wake up call for them now, they need to actually work for the WIN's and not rely on the aura created from sir benny's arrival.


Might I also add, the refereeing was fantastic last night, with maybe 1 or 2 marginally questionable but that is to be expected.

I think you need to read a lot of the comments in that thread and realise that most were not agreeing with the media's view of the game.

 

[watatank]

Head was disappointing tbh. But in saying that, Soward wasn't much better.

 

[St. Linnane]

At least Soward had an excuse. Corked hip preventing him from goal kicking and then aggravated it early in the second half.

 

[Mr Red]

at least gumby has two good legs...

Yeah he should be given the benefit of the doubt, as should Head.

Second smallest, head is the smallest. U cant blame the guy for being blind sighted and hit by the defender on the outside when he is fed slow service from the inside.

Yes Head was rather ineffective last night, but we had little or no option runners in attack. It would make it tough for anyone to run to the line. Do u blame his organisation or has the team spent much time on those options yet?

Hopefully the boys spend a bit more time on the attack in the next two weeks and sort it out.

 

[BPS]

It's just a trial don't hang him yet.

I thought he went OK

 

[rushndude]

Im sure Benny will now get stuck into them on their attack over the next two weeks. Priddis mentioned they had'nt done any ballwork sessions at all until a day before the Perth trial so its definately going to take some time to get fluid attack happening.
