Rumours and Stuff

Speaking of Pritchard, why do they continue to persist with him? He's prone to injury and his service, as you stated, is well down the list comparatively.
He may be an average player but hes a great trainer and his attitude is good (apart from the pee in the cup incident). These are our prerequisites for players BA wants representing our club. Unfortunately these players attitude can also change very quickly when exposed to "Parraculture".

Being a great trainer and having a good attitude doesn't mean much when it comes to game time. You said it yourself, he's an average player. On the field ( where it matters most) is what will determine where a player fits in the grand scheme of things. Right now, he'll take us nowhere.

When he strung a few games together this year Kaysa was pretty good, and won a man of the match in one game. His style of play isn't conducive to playing 60+ minutes a week. I think from next year he'll only be asked to play 20-30 minutes.

I do however believe we need a 4th dummy half for at least another year. We can't run with Pritchard and Smith as the only back-up dummy halves.

Some players go their entire career without ever winning man-of-the-match in an NRL game. Kaysa Pritchard is not one of those players.

His only problem is injury-proneness, not lack of ability.

Would love to see Kaysa come off the bench and be used as an impact player in an attacking role, as a dummy half. Previously BA had used him as a middle forward/lock off the bench. Not sure what he was attempting to achieve by this.

Let's give him a participation award, a stack of money then we'll all feel good about it. 2019, y'all gonna bring out your A game.

Lose a game by less than 10 points?

If you can run from dummy half after a quick play-the-ball you can do it one pass wider.

What about the time it takes the DH to get into a passing position and actually pass the ball? Plus you’re passing the ball a little backwards, so by the time he actually gets the ball, the defensive line has had time to reset. This isn’t the 1980’s where a 80kg forward could be used as a battering ram. He isn’t a middle forward/lock, so why you trying to justify it?

His dummy half service is right up there? I just don't think we'll win the games that matter with him at 9. My opinion only.
