A guy who played about 50 NRL games?? Pretty good for 20’s. Didn’t they have the Bromwich boys as well???
Every junior rep squad is pretty average:

Did i?? I just said i had a wrap on him since then, all his teams play a good style of football even our 20's did in 2014. Expect last night that was aids.


But doesn't coach mean SFA???? Unless it suits another BS argument???
It means SFA in the context of one game. I also rate Holbrook, just not for the performance of his 2014 under 20s team. Last night certainly wasn't his fault. It's hard to motivate teams to play the Tigers, especially early in the year. They can't be up every week.

How can Latrell Mitchell justify his price tag. Absolutely useless game last nite, made about 5-6 runs for about 50 mitres and if he actually was in the picture when Penriff scored was totally ineffective. No attack and no defence and the Ch9 commentators were talking about his contribution. Obviously saw a different game to me.

He has always been like that. On his day, when he's up for it, he's fantastic, but he definitely has runs of games where he seems disinterested...

10 runs for 86 metres, 7 tackle busts and 2 LBAs. He had a couple of good moments, but he looks overweight to me. Never seen a fullback who carries that much body fat.

They're trying to get him the ball in the right positions, but those opportunities don't come up very often against the stronger defences, so he spends a lot of time drifting around waiting. If he was fitter he could support the ball more often and get into the game that way, like Gutherson. Slater was the master of it, running support on nearly every play. If Mitchell makes a support run and doesn't get the ball he spends the next play or two getting back into position. Lucky they've got Murray in the middle I suppose.

Matt Nable maintains the yobbo stereotype of our game. We need to go in another direction and I’m not talking about some non binary ‘daddy chill’ misfit either.
