Partially because he has such a horrible history of injury. Rewatching some of the games with Joash he played a lot better then I remembered. His first assignment was to get his defence right. He did that. He actually showed some nice subtle ball playing skills. He just didn't show us many of those ankle breaking stepping runs we hoped to see from him.
He only does it to be in the minority and to make himself the centre of attention — then plays the victim when everyone tells him it’s a stupid move. That’s Pou 101.
Talk about the footy ffs
I think it depends on a variety of factors. Including the environment and the overall team structure the player is going in as well as the personality of the player in question. There are numerous examples of players being thrown in the deep end and effectively undergo a trial by fire who thrive but conversely there are those that struggle and are stunted - and as you mention develop 'bad habits' due to being relatively inexperienced and having a lot of expectation foisted on them.
Possibly. I don’t think we necessarily need a traditional half paired with Moses. Smith has shown an improved kicking game as well. Someone like Purdue or Averillo who are strong ball runners might fit in well. Then if Lorenzo is good they can shift out to the centres where we are weak as well
The point is Williams would still have been a good signing even if it was only for a year. The exception is if we were overpaying him (and we'll never know if that's the case). But if we are overpaying him, then a year would be better than multiple years.
You need to watch the decisions he makes. That says a lot more about what he really thinks than whatever he says on a podcast.
We acquiesced to his needs. That’s the problem.
And he is filling one of ours. It’s win-win.
He did when he got to be at the back, for whatever reason he just didn’t seem to have confidence in running in the halves.
He just needs an offseason and experience to get his timing and confidence. He proved he was able to defend in the frontline. The rest will come if he gets the chance.
He’s a bad smell that will never fk off
I thought u were warming to him ???
It’s lose-lose. If he does well it’s like damn this is hard to watch because he won’t be here much longer anyway. If he does poorly then it’s like why are we wasting our time? He’s not going to be cheap either. We could have used that money elsewhere.
