Story doing the rounds

[Ninja]

Mate Morris had been one of the most consistent performers all year ! Granted he has no kicking game what so ever, but the guy puts in 150% for the full 80 minutes and he tackles his arse off.... more then you can say for other members of the team.

Though i have to agree with ya about Fitzy hahaha but he has his days

Fair enough, you think all this bad play comes from the top and the buck stops with him.. i respect your opinion no dramas. But personally i couldnt disagree more, Sheens aint the man to blame here, its time for these extreamly well paid PROFFESIONAL athletes to put there hand up (the same hand that collects their pay checks) and take some responsibility for not performing

Yeah halfbacks dont really need kicking games just as long as they tackle and put in 150%!

 

[HOT028]

i think the club needs a change in coachs and not just sheens, i think royce should move on and take warren with him, bring in some fresh guys who are living in the 00's and have the guts to drop star players who do not preform,

 

[themanonthehill]

The Minister of Defence is certainly failing on that count ...

 

[Spank]

Yeah halfbacks dont really need kicking games just as long as they tackle and put in 150%!

For starters he is playin 5/8 not half back.

Secondly, putting 150% for 80 minutes every week and making tackles in the middle is the major part of his role and something a lot of the team has not grasped.

Thirdly there are also Farah and Benji that are the teams designated kickers who dont do it any better then Johhny does.

My point is he is copping a lot of flack when i dont think he deserves it. But hey thats just my opinon.

 

[themanonthehill]

MArshall has kicked only since he returned from injury and is a great kicker. Always seems to find space and gets plenty of distance. Morris was signed to play halfback. Started the year at half and only the last few weeks has played 5/8 (which is somewhat of an admission by Sheens)

 

[N.C.]

Or maybe it was the plan all along?

Or do you believe everything Sheens says in the media too?

 

[themanonthehill]

Hahahah. Yep it was the plan all along. Sheens is the supercoach.
Maybe these losses are all planned as well.
Maybe every sh*t Morris bomb is also planned
I am also starting to think Hodgson being injured was also part of the plan so we could all see how good Junior Burger was before he was given a 3 year contract
I have seen the light

But Mulvi Fitzy doesnt have "f**k up after f**k up." That bullsh!ts all in your head. You've already made your mind up about how poor he plays before he even takes the field. I thought he's been playing alright, he's doing plenty of good work in defence, but he isn't getting the ball in attack, which i don't blame him for. He only ever runs off kick returns or dummy half scoots early in the piece but because hes defending more to the middle of the park so Benji can be protected on the wing hes not getting the ball. The 6 metre job the other week, probably fairer if you compared it to the other 5/8ths in the comp. If you look through the stats, 3 5/8th's made less than 20 metres that week, one only making 5.

A semi decent player will want the ball and try and get involved. It's not as if he has a passing game. 6 metres for 80 minutes is just terrible. Please don't try and defend that you're making a fool of yourself!

Why would you compare it to other 5/8s?

He was only there in D....played wing in attack

 

[themanonthehill]

You can't insult Fitzy when or the FWO mongs go into meltdown. More t shirts are printed and this self fulfilling prophcy gathers momentum. They think he is Lockyer, THurston, Price, Carroll, Johns and Inglis rolled into one. All he is is a coach's pet.

Farah should have been captain against the chargers 2 weeks ago yet Supercoach picks his lovechild to lead from the front and make a massive 6 metres for his side. Farah is the future of the club, a junior, a class player, plays 80 mins in the middle of the park and is the best hooker in the game yet supercoach feels compelled to pick the mediocre winger as skipper.

Doing plenty of good work is he ? What about the header against manly, the c**k up against Canberra off his shins, the dropped ball against easts that would have made it 12 blot, the drop with the line open v cowboys, his rampaging efforts v the gold coast. Shall i go on ?

My point was that he makes all his runs on the zero or first tackle. He wasn't there, benji was. As for any backline moves, Collis wasn't throwing him the ball. The only time he did he put him over the sideline (alledgedly).

 

[themanonthehill]

All one of them

 

[bjm8]

yep, all one of them.

 

[themanonthehill]

If only the marketing gurus had screen printed FITZY 06 instead of BENJI 06 on those shirts ..

You need genuine Frontrowers boys.. we learnt we couldn't build a team around no go forward... You didn't make a play at Asotasi, O'Meley, Ryles or even try and re-sign O'Donnell the best backrower in the business IMO. Where is all your money tied up? Prince leaving must have left a fair chunk.

I'd take Benji and his half seasons anyday over Ben Rogers..
