Rumours and Stuff

Couldn't you spit the dummy again and f**k off for the off season at least Pou?

But then what would we talk about? Having less people in a discussion doesn't help anyone, despite what their argument is. The only people who don't like differing opinions are weak-minded, you know what we call those people? Rugby League Week readers.

Its ok Obscene, Pou and I have a love hate relationship. But thanks for the tip about weakly mindedness.

By this logic you also dispute the people who say Scott contributed more.

No, this purely shows the flaws in your argument. You tell 5% of the story and make a conclusion. You have blinkers on and you never consider any opinions but your own.
Your stubbornness will win you plenty of arguments and few will be bothered arguing but it doesn't make them any more correct.

Were Scott's stats any better in the middle? If not then his time on the edges is irrelevant.

Sample size too small FTW!!

Looks like Hasler is being moved on.

Looks like Hasler is being moved on.

I have always thought the way he structures his team was odd. Forwards get to play with the ball before the halves get the leftovers.

I reckon he will replace either McGregor or Barrett

Don't think Dragons could afford him, its not just his contract and the pay out for Mary, but also the amount he expects to spend on the footy program.

His structure does involve the forwards more then the halves, but I reckon that's more playing to his squads strengths rather to its weaknesses.

They really don't have the greatest half combo ( good players, but are they really top halves ?) and they have never had a ball player at fullback.

Bottom line Pou, stats only tell us one story. What they don't necessarily tell us is the positive or negative influence a player can have on a game. That is why I have been having a go at say a player like Tepai who not only has very average stats, but very little influence on a game other then going through the motions kind of stuff that most other forwards could easily do too.

If a player has below average or average stats, but on many occasions throughout a season has huge positive influencing moments on the field that can or do turn a game to his teams advantage, then that player is, in my mind, a good player and valuable to the team.

This is the type of player that Scott was for us this last season. Watmough on the other hand, had a terrible season overall contributing very little in the way of positive game moments. It was sporadic at best, with more low light moments then high point moments.

Scott pleasantly surprised me at his overall contribution to the team(not attack, but everything else) and his leadership qualities are a huge part of that, that Watmough showed very little of for us.

My verdict, price range to contribution ratio?

Watmough dud/fail. Scott success/pass.

Scott was fantastic for us this season. He had more of an influence on the team than Watmough did imo.

Rammy still banging on about Tepai having bad stats despite there only being 3 guys in the whole NRL with better stats (who play thr same minutes).

Kind of demonstrates his agenda I would think....

 

[TheRam]

Arguing with Pou has the same effect as trimmimg your pubes...?

Not a problem, don't have any. Lasered off years ago.

What agenda?

Best signing by the Club in a long long time. Passionate, tough and uncompromising..I'm a huge fan, not only of his playing ability, but his leadership qualities also.

Your stubbornness will win you plenty of arguments and few will be bothered arguing but it doesn't make them any more correct.

If you can't compare the two players in different years then you should be having a go at all the people who claim Scott contributed more in 2016 than Watmough in 2015. I understand you're desperate to prove me wrong, and you're among a sympathetic little group so you're emboldened by it, but you can't have it both ways.
