I was responding to you saying he didn’t make any errors. I also said that he doesn’t contribute much atm with ball in hand so fans will be hypercritical of any mistakes he makes. It’s not about trying to put shit on anyone. It’s about being in touch with reality (which I don’t think you are at times).
It is. Any time I'm bagging the selection of Jake Arthur it is a shot at BA. However, pointing out his complete lack of ability at a first grade level is also fair, just as it is at any other player who wants to be a professional footballer that plays first grade and isn't up to it. The kid shouldn't be out there because he doesn't have the necessary skills and disrupts the team too much. And yes it's his dad's fault for picking him.
Picking Jake Arthur before Nathan Brown, Cartwright, Greig and Rein is an abomination and to suggest anything else is a nonsense.
You don't want forwards defending at centre. Look how bad Niukore is when he plays there.
Ideally you don’t but would they be any worse than JArthur in the defensive line at this point in his career?
I would bring in Opacic and leave Arthur on the bench. Whoever comes in for Russell will have to play 80 minutes, and as you say, there is less reshuffling if the only change is Blake to the wing.
Yeah just like our middle defence. Or are you still blaming Simonsson for all the overlaps we gave up on the right? Maybe that was Arthur's fault too?
Yep. Five tries in the bank and he's crying about our f**ken attack. The merkins needed to hold the ball and work hard in defence. They did neither until the second half.
Our defence was shit from the first min, we took the Tits likely and almost got burned. I think the coaching staff took them lightly with the bench picked and the fact Jakey boy got a make a wish foundation day out at the footy.
Well if you watched the 2016 grand final you would've seen Chad Townsend did his job just fine. Your shit hypothetical didn't apply.
I don’t know how anyone could watch that and not think Simmonson jammed in too far on multiple occasions to give saloon passages to the opposition wingers.
Our biggest problem is our right edge defence. We keep trying to jam in and end up being exposed like some sort of chicken from somewhere.
I'm in bed on the laptop. Trying to watch porn but I keep getting interrupted by Boxheads.
It's been a problem for years, i'm just glad we are paying a head coach a lot of money to fix it.
Well stop looking in the mirror you weirdo.
If Will Chambers had a brain and knew Cronk was unmarked on his inside and passed the ball (which would have lead to a certain Storm victory) then does that mean that Townsend didn’t do his job?
Well he didn't. A kick that is caught in the in goal isn't an error. It's a potential outcome every time you kick into the in goal.
He was brought on because we suffered a backline injury. Most teams struggle when that happens. Yet as usual the scapegoaters need to find someone to blame. Somehow it's always the backup's fault.
Titans in equal second. No wonder we struggled to hold them out.
No. Thats not our problem. Our problem is JA and his lack of attack when we have already had 28 points scored against us!
