I suggest you go into other Souths media outlets online and have a look......
I suggest you listen to the cheers when Goodwin is called out in the team just before that match............
I've lost interest in international footy due to bias selections.........
Talakai leaks a lot of points and can't make trysavers, he panics while Goodwin stays calm and saves our bacon a lot of times........
2 trysavers once more he made last Sunday while Talakai wouldn't have been able to make them.... Talakai is a turnstile.......
Talakai is slower than Goodwin too, FACT....
Talakai also knows how to knock on and can't leap into the air tapping a ball back or to leap and catch the ball then score....
Goodwin also has a step too while Talakai doesn't!!!!!!!
I don't take it Goodwin was dropped there!!!.... If he hadn't been injured he'd have been there as Lote wouldn't have got that chance...... we went on a winning streak so why change a winning side???.... you don't change a winning backline.....
If Lote was injured and out for 8 weeks and then Goodwin got his chance and we went on a streak I don't believe Lote would have got back ino the team......
You use the 'look at facebook' arguement to support your stance on Goodwin. Yet you never criticise the twins, they always feature in your 'who to pick next round' posts despite a huge amount of people on social media calling for their dropping. So you only use that when it supports you.
You said the great thing about Goodwin was his 'shitwork' yet when i provided an example of another player who also has similar 'shitwork' and you went off on a tangent about how that isn't enough. So it's great for 1 player but not enough for another.
Your entire posts about how goodwin is better than Talaki is true. But i don't think a manager can attract deals from nrl clubs on the basis that his client is a bit better the siosifa Talaki in a few areas.
The weird thing about your Goodwin is better then Talaki rant is that the exact same can be said about Blake Ashford and Chase Stanley
Talakai leaks a lot of points and can't make trysavers, he panics while Blake and Chase stays calm and saves our bacon a lot of times........
2 trysavers once more they made in a random game while Talakai wouldn't have been able to make them.... Talakai is a turnstile.......
Talakai is slower than Blake and Chase too, FACT....
I just copied and paste your statement and replaced Goodwin with Blake and chase and it still made sense because they are the same calibre player.
Goodwin never missed 8 weeks with injury. He missed 1. And that 1 missed game was enough for him to lose his fulltime spot. That doesn't happen to good players. Good players make a team no matter how good the team is going. Take Boyd Cordner, he missed a few weeks before the 2013 gf and was declared fit gf week. Roosters put him straight in. Teo was the same. He copped a big suspension yet came in after more then a month away, blowing the 'you wouldn't change a winning team' theory away. Heck last year even a player of Sam Tagatese was included in the gf team despite not playing in the finals and being covered quite well by Kurt Capewell in his absence. So that theory doesn't fly. Goodwin was not good enough.
The funny thing about that is that the guy who was in his place, Lote, wasn't even playing that great. Sure he got the job done, but lote was far from an irreplaceable piece of that team. Even if Lote got injured, you'd think merritt was next in line anyway
