He’s been very good in NSW Cup. Phenomenal for a bloke still eligible for Jersey Flegg. He’s worth throwing development opportunities. You want to waste them on Hayze Perham or Brendan Hands?

Has he been very good or good? How many of his TAs are from bombs in a grade where guys aren't as good under the bombs?
What are you basing this on?

By this criteria, no one can ever express a critique or alternative team selection
Not true. There’s things I’d do differently. Often those decisions come down to a different appetite for risk, or different priorities. I certainly don’t think the coach has no idea when I disagree with him. More likely is that I’m the one who’s wrong.
- this reasoning also leads to the inevitable position that the coach/selector is infallible as they have the most information available to them....just a ridiculous statement!
Not infallible, just beyond criticism by the likes of us. You can question his decisions (I do) but you’re not going to get any answers from him. But at least have the f**king humility to accept you don’t know everything. You certainly know less than a coach with a winning record and who gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to know his job and make decisions.

My Dads been following rugby league since he was a kid. He is now 79. I just told him this weeks side and he said.
f**k me dead, what's wrong with the bloke. You can't tell me he isn't picking him cause he is his son.

This is a bloke that has followed the game for over 70yrs. He knows a bit about footy.
Some of the merkins around here have had no idea for thirty or forty years. Do you think they’ll suddenly have a clue at 80?

No. Has there ever been a half that's as slow as jake. If this was nfl try outs he'd be kicked off first round. He'll amount to zero without dad as coach,.. To slow, non athletic. Name a half as slow as jake who ever amounted to anything Pao.

Nah the 155m gained proves he can help our forwards. Deadset no wonder you merkins hate statistics. You’re statistically illiterate ffs!
Yeah. It was a nice intercept to get him in wide open spaces and he did manage to get to about the 30 meter line before he was caught by the Dogs. Luckily our back rower also caught up pretty quickly to take the offload and score. It was a half decent pass thats for sure.
