4 or 5 missed tackles.
one forward pass
one Kick dead
Hospital ball to Nrown.

had will smith had these stats in previous years you and others would be calling for his sacking

some people are still saying Moses isn’t capable of taking us to premiership glory,
Despite what he brings to the team.

yet you’re willing to turn a blind eye to ja’s amazing stats.
He’s a backup. How good do his stats need to be ffs? Did he stop us winning? Was our attack worse with him in the team? How about our defence?

In hindsight, round 1, do u think Ba got it right with team selections, when we had no injuries. The usual huggers are cherry picking the facts now to suit their argument. Yes there’s injuries now but there wasn’t round 1.
There were also injuries round one, but either way, Opacic on the bench doesn’t cover the loss of a half. Arthur covers the halves as well as outside backs because Drown can move to centre, which is where plenty of merkins wanted him to play prior to his good attacking form this year.

Finishing 6th behind an injury stricken Goosters and a one band Man Manly was hardly a pass mark IMO.
Of course it was. The rules last year suited teams with players like Tedesco and Tedurbo. And in any case we performed better than both those teams in the finals.

So finishing lower was a pass mark after finishing higher the previous two seasons??? With a squad building for a comp??? Coming last is a pass mark for you.

The rules were changed last year to favour faster teams. As for the Roosters, they should finish ahead of us every year because of their resources. With no injuries they should finish well ahead. With a lot of injuries it was only slightly ahead. This is why in their premiership window they can win back to back comps while in ours the best we might do is a close game against the eventual premiers. Do you still think it’s an even competition?

Sivo, Dunster, Greig, Niukore (also suspended) were injured for round 1. Nathan Brown also returned from leg surgery in round 1, had no trial minutes.

How about you f**king get real and stop picking players outside the top 30. Do you even rugba leeg ? I don’t think you do.

Carty playing 80 minutes vs Gagai or Val Holmes ? Suicide.

Your opinion differs. I am entitled to mine as you are to yours. There is no right or wrong.
We had different opinions on footy, booster shots, vaccines,religion and government. That's fine, I respect what you have to say and am not trying to change your opinion. Mines just different

wouldn't be blowing my load at sitting 3rd at the moment unlike yourself.

Ton more JA / BA bashing than that around.

How many games and years has Will Smith had over JA ?

Personally JA isnt up to NRL level.... yet, A lot of young halves aint after a handfull of starts. But isnt all this game time invaluable experience? while we have a ton of backline injuries (serious question)

Do you think he is beyond development and should be shown the door?

How long do we give him? Do we only throw him in when Moses or Brown is injured?
