Team list Tuesday Rnd 24 vs Donkeys

[Incorrect]

Well that escalated quickly.

Not really, it has been bubbling along all season to be fair....

 

[IFR33K]

TCT are selling JA selection as part of the bench rotation policy.

So i guess its a lucky dip come finals time who gets lucky and grabs the 17th spot.

Anything to deflect shit off Ba.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

It wouldn't surprise me if his contract has triggers in it that either gets Jake an extension or a bonus in his contract if he plays a certain amount of games.

That brad will also benefit out of it as why on earth he is putting his son under all this pressure and microscope is just absurd.

I find all that extremely unlikely. I think the most likely thing is that he's lost perspective because it's his son and that's natural, and he isn't getting honest feedback from his staff.

 

[Twizzle]

very surprised to see Cartright omitted

Shock horror who didn't see that coming 12 months ago.

Found some footage of BA chatting with Murphy, McGregor, Ennis and Kidwell from earlier this year...

I agree it's a situation that should never have been allowed to develop.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Was this a cheekie Meatloaf reference?

You took the words right outta my mouth!

Don’t they get paid by the leagues club to do gigs after the games? Have they ever criticised Brad Arthur?

There is some good stuff on there but you wonder if they are related to the Arthur's sometimes how they carry on and are unashamedly pro BA everything.
Would that site end once BA moves on?

They are not bad guys. Just never heard them say anything to directly criticise the coach. Wonder why?

It’s got f**k all to do with who the coach is. Could be anyone in role and they’d act the same. Don’t bite the hand that feeds and all that

Spot on. It’s admirable as a father, but deplorable as a first grade coach.

 

[Wally21]

Honestly, the fact that Cartwright has been dropped is a f**king disgrace.
And I’m personally sick of talking about the fact that Jake should not be our back up half. I can’t even begin to understand the logic here.
If that’s the team that takes the park, well I was going to say BA has lost me but he lost me a long time ago.

 

[Soto]

Just when we thought he may have turned the corner with the bench and the rotations he then selects the said bench for this game.
There has got to be concerns for 1 or both of the halves. It's the only plausible explanation.
I watched the knock on cup game the other day and I can't honestly say Makatoa was outstanding to demand he be picked again..
JA was even worse. Atrocious with his kicks and created very little.
Perham was our best back. He actually provides more utility value than JA

 

[the phantom menace]

Anyway I reckon BA has planned all along to weasel Jake into the team come finals time.

Maybe that's when he'll wheel out his master plan of Dylan to the centres and Jake into starting halves!

 

[the phantom menace]

Does Poupou Escobar also write for them - he seems to take the same never-criticise-Arthur approach with his posts on here?

 

[JokerEel]

Ensemble Time!

JA was ok in cup last week but not good enough to displace Cartwright..

Put Perham on the bench if he needs cover for the halves..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

In NSW cup last week his tackle efficiency was 66.67%. That is disgraceful

But he made more metres than anyone. He’ll really help our go forward.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't quote stats like that.
Pou will be on here in a flash to refute them with lame excuses and bullshit.

I’ve told you plenty of times that stats in a single game don’t mean much. Like when a halfback tops the running metres. It’s interesting because it’s unusual, not because it represents a typical performance.
