Slater and his errors

[Western_Eel]

Id love to say hayne is the best No 1, But i would have slater any day, and i dont think stewart is at the same level, plus i dont think we will see him again anyway.

I actually think that, provided Stewart stays out of the clink and Hayne doesn't get shot at, those two will be competing for the NSW #1 jersey next year (unless the foolish selectors pick Gidley again) and will be considered comfortably better fullbacks than anyone Queensland have got.

Funny, I still cannot ever remember the classic cutie blinder, but seen plenty from Stewart, Slater, Bowen, Mini etc.

As I said, start worrying about mistakes, and blokes like Beetson, Mortimer and Reg Gasnier would never have been graded.

I'd much rather for out the hard earned to watch a thriller like Billy than a snore like cutie.

 

[Western_Eel]

Hayne will get pick either way because if he doesnt get fullback he will be on the wing,

Huh?????

 

[Big Pete]

If you were, you would've seen Hunt absolutely annihilate those useless bludgers!

Start expecting flashy brilliance from every player and blokes like Hindmarsh would be unknown's.

Slater is a fantastic fullback for the Storm. But not for Origin.

 

[Shorty]

Pretty sure he's proven what he is for Origin.
His defence sh*ts all over Hunt's.
I don't think this argument will ever end until both retire but saying Slater isn't a fullback for Origin (when he's played quite a few games now and done nothing wrong) is crap.

Some people like the whole safer than sorry but it doesn't mean it's better.

 

[Big Pete]

It's not that Slater isn't up to it, it's just that Hunt's style seems better suited.

It really depends on the viewer really, I certainly feel secure with Hunt there though.

If you were, you would've seen Hunt absolutely annihilate those useless bludgers!

Didn't see it yesterday.

When was that, BTW?

 

[Shorty]

Hunt's goal line defence has always been very average.
I remember a couple of tries (one against the Dogs most recently) being scored because Hunt instead of a proper tackle, shoulder charged and it backfired.
But apparently, Slater makes the silly errors...:/

 

[Loudstrat]

And Slater will still be in the QLD side next year, making all those errors. cutie will be wowing them with his safety in Japanese Yawnion.

What justification is there to pick cutie in the Qld 1 jumper for Origin 3? Absolutely none.

Stats don't lie.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

What justification is there to pick cutie in the Qld 1 jumper for Origin 3?

Every justification considering there's been no official confirmation that he's leaving yet.

 

[Big Pete]

Round 7 Loudy, watch it.

Even with one ankle Hunt was one of the better players on the field.

The broncos withdrew the offer, didn't they? Plus, he's spoken to no one else in the NRL or ESL.

Go on. Assure us all he'll be playing NRL in 2010. I dare ya.

So there's no official confirmation that he's leaving yet? Glad we agree.

 

[Loudstrat]

Didn't think you'd have the balls to back up what you are implying, Frank.

So you assert cutie will be in the NRL in 2010. On of ya best :lol:

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Slater is the most overrated fullback in the competition. He makes good runs from kick returns every now and again however in defence he is hopeless (the attempted take of a bomb in last weeks origin) and makes terrible decisions in attack at times (last years world cup final). I could name numerous fullbacks who are safer at the back than Slater: Hunt, Boyd, Patten, Cambell. Its only Slaters ability to do freakish things every now and again that makes people forget the dumb things. Im a dragons supporter and would rather have Boyd than Slater any day of the week.
