DanOz basically said he shouldn't be credited with them because he simply just passed the ball. Well, that was the last pass before a try so it counts as a try assist, simple as that.
understood. I certainly hadn't made that notion (i thought it was directed at me, apologies)
Lui's defence for the Anasta try was poor. But so was Ellis' attempt on Guerra for the second try. But no mention of that.
Because Lui does this same thing EVERY week. Ellis doesn't.
Lui's effort in the disallowed Friend try was poor. But so was the lack of effort by Farah and Moltzen to get to the ball in the first place. But no mention of that.
see above.
Lui's defence is generally poor but he's not the only player that has defensive lapses that let in tries. Some of you think that he is singlehandedly responsible for every point that is scored against us. It's a team game and yes he is not very good in defence but he is not the sole cause.
They are not lapses. he does it every week, all the time. He's not being dubbed as the sole cause of all the tries we concede, no one has even suggested anything remotely close to that, the fact you make a statement such as that is nothing more than a preconceived notion you already had on everyone's opinion, not based on what we are all actually saying.
And teams DO isolate him. Other teams have players who are poor defenders (like Soward) but they adequately cover for his deficiencies. We simply do not.
Don't give me that. Every team has poor defenders, yes, but those poor defenders at least try and defend their try line. As soon as team gets with 5-10m of our tryline, Lui shuffles towards the goalpost, creates a yawning gap and then dawdles up at the gap between two players, doesn't play at the ball and doesn't attemnpt a tackle. He does it all the f**king time. If he's a poor defender and too scared to actually tackle someone, put him under the bost behind two props so he doesn't have to do anything defensively. He's a joke in defence. The worst defender I have ever seen play the game, at all levels in my entire life, and thats based on him being scared of the physical contact.
Last year Sheens paired Ellis with Lui and he acted as his protector in defence. The two also combined quite well in attack. I have no idea why this was changed but it should never have been altered with.
He did the same type of thing years before to help Benji's defence.
Benji isn't a great defender but he's a shitload better than he was. Furthermore, he was never scared to make a tackle and still isn't.
The ploy is used to improve a players defence. Lui's defence is still non-existant, he saw it as an opportunity not to defend at all.
He's a lazy, pea-hearted, timid, scared, softcock who is starting to do silly little things with the ball in hand as well which remind of John Morris at halfback.
He should be dropped to NSW Cup for the rest of the year. If he can't find form there he never will.
The fact he was given so much more of an opportunity ahead of Blake Lazarus, Tim Moltzen and now Jacob Miller is f**king criminal.
