Weird how? You just said it yourself - he moved for his daughter, not the club.

He wasn't going to get much ball when we don't have a 5/8.

Maybe we'll get one??? Just don't chase an origin 5/8. We definitely don't need one of those.

Herman didn't seem to have an attitude problem when he was the best player on the park against the Dogs.

Maybe he's not happy Gavet got his dumb arse sent off and lost that game and has kept his spot?
He's probably not happy with that selection - but I tee'd off deluxe on Herman for his shit attitude in defense after the Tigers game. He deserved to be dropped and should worry about his own performances.

I'm no Gavet fan, I'd have him in reserve grade too... but having a hissy about being dropped when it was well deserved is a textbook definition of a shit attitude. If the coach is picking someone ahead of you and giving you feedback on what you've done wrong, the correct answer is to fix it and demand selection.

Perhaps Brown thinks Herman is capable of much, much more? I certainly do.

Herman was in Brown’s bad book before the season even kicked off this year.
I thought Herman was one of our better players last year and should’ve been an automatic selection for round one.

He was one of our best last year, but that doesn't give anyone an automatic selection the next season. There are very few players in that category... that's Pearce, Ponga, Klemmer and not many others in our team.

Why do you think Herman was out of favour? Because he turned up to training and tore the house down all off season? Yeah, I bet that would piss the coach off alright.

He was one of our better players. Absolutely no doubt about it.

Being the best player from the previous season does give you the right to be an automatic selection for the following season.
From all reports Herman had a good preseason and didn’t get himself into any mischief.
I guess Brown fell in love with new dude on the block, the fake tough guy..

I disagree completely. Elite players have their positions locked down. Herman is not elite. Everyone, including the elite, earn their position week-in, week-out pre-season - or not.

I don't know what has gone on behind the scenes for any of these players (nor do you, that much is painfully obvious). I try to judge them based on their output on the field, and the only selection I don't think is justified completely in this week's team is Gavet.

Tell me, what do you make of the players that *do* perform well under Brown every week for us?

Herman did enough last season to be automatic selection for round one this season.
Brown mentioned that Herman had some defensive lapses that’s why he wasn’t picked for one round, yet Sione’s defence was atrocious all of last season yet Sione is always an automatic selection no matter how he plays.
Speaking of which Brown can bang on about players not trying yet Sione against the Roosters made 1 run for 7m in 64 mins.
I can see why Herman wants out and why Ramien was happy to leave.

Pretty confident that if King was fit this weekend, Gavet would have the weekend off.

Does this remind anyone else of the toxic "jobs for the boys" attitude that we collectively agreed was ruining our club a few years ago, or is it just me?

You earn that jersey every training season, every game. Anything less than that is totally unacceptable.

That’s why Gavet and Mann are both playing this week.
