I would prefer not to disrupt our halves full stop. Russell got injured, BA shifted his starting five-eighth to make room for a bloke who is an inferior half/player which in turn meant our specialist centre moved out of position. And we didn't score another try from that moment on.
I wasn’t aware Matterson could play centre. If he can then it seems like a far better option to move him there rather than disrupt the halves.

Matterson can fill in at centre if need be. He did it numerous times during the Roosters premiership run. The last thing you want to do is reshuffle your spine. Unless you desperately want your son on the field.
I think BA is a good man and a good father. Hard exterior but we all know that inside he's as soft as a mars bar left on your dashboard in summer. I just doubt he can be rational about selections, and the assistants don't seem to be helping.

We couldn’t score a try the second half with over 60% of the ball, the first half we looked as smooth AF. We looked disjointed and clunky as f**k once Jakey boy came on.

Townsend was shit at that age, just like Arthur. Unlike Arthur, he didn’t have daddy picking him when he wasn’t ready.
Did a coworker take your spot because the principal was their dad or something? You should be embarrassed with your abuse of Jrthur

What is our For / Against with Jake on the field since his debut? Maybe David Middleton can help us. It would not be pretty.

The completely confused our attack in that period he was in the team and it coincided with our worst slump of the year. Penrith have done well to recruit O' Sullivan who fits into what theyre trying to do all be at a lower level of quality than Nathan.

I dont agree with Jake being in the squad at all.. but his is.. and the only reason he should even sniff a first grade field is if Moses doesn't play. He doesn't fit at all anywhere else.

I would prefer we put blah blah in the blah blah while I eat whole tube of pringles whilst wearing my spider man undies and tapping out illiterate dog shit on LU.

The amount of tickets that simpletons have on themselves on here is embarrassing.

He missed a crucial tackle during a break and made an error by giving away a seven tackle set. He’s going to be judged more harshly if he makes errors unless he contributes more in attack.
It was a seven tackle set because of no chase. We lacked intensity the whole game.

And you say he missed a tackle? That's what halves do, especially when we lose the middle and get isolated out wide. Moses missed four ffs, even Drown missed a couple. That's how much we were on the back foot.

Are you back on the sauce, mate ?

And his so called ‘much better kicking game’ resulted in 4 kicks for 74m, one of which was an abysmal kick to no one that resulted in a 7 tackle kick. The others were bombs that didn’t threaten at all. His kicking game is bog average.
Bog average and still much better than Matterson and Cartwright, who deadset f**ks up every time he puts his foot to the ball. He's also a better kicker than Drown.

Well actually it is. If you can win a grand final with them they are not a liability.
By that logic if a player has a shit game in a grand final and the game is decided by a completely unrelated incident then if said unrelated incident (eg a bomb) leads to a try then said player isn’t a liability but if it doesn’t then they are. That doesn’t seem like very sound logic to me.

The kick wasn’t high enough. The commentators even said as much.

Wait till Cartwright finally gets a go and he gets crushed on here like a pissant.

One day we will finally have a team where all of our backups are first grade quality.

When Will Smith overplayed his hand and stifled our attack as is his wont in season's past, most of us, if not all of us, were quick to crucify him and point out his frailties. Jake Arthur is being picked to play first grade and regardless of who his Dad is or how old he is, he should also be judged by his output. If he's not up to it, the coach needs to do something about it. He simply should not be put on the field to play in the halves again while our starting 6 and 7 are fit. If he is unable to fill in and plug a gap in any other position, then he should not be in the 17, simple.
