The fraud thread

Daniel Saifiti

I always assumed he was the good one and that Jacob got selected for Origin a couple of times because Fittler forgot which was which. Not true?

Taunoa Brown was a bludger for us in the end too

He came from the Storm with big raps on him (don’t they always?) but I actually don’t think he even did a lot there, was more earmarked as a player with a ton of potential.

Clint Gutherson.

I just don't get what either Parra or the League media see in him.

The Tigers have had more than their fair share of good players that go there to milk one last payday when they’re past their best.

Adam Blair and Braith Anasta spring instantly to mind.

Adam Blair played 121 first grade games before going to the Tigers and 210 after going to the Tigers so it certainly wasn't one last pay day.

Blair's whole career is a mystery to me. 331 first grade games and 51 tests means on paper he appears to be an ATG. A succession of coaches picked him week in week out for 15 years.

I said when it was signed that the 10 year contract the Cowboys gave him would come back to proverbially bite it on the bottom.

You weren't wrong.

But bottom feeder teams like the Cowboys have no choice.

It's either that or he goes elsewhere.

I think most people were saying that.

They both played quite well for NSW. Kind of like the old Gagai memes. Bludgers at club level for the rep money we're paying them. At their peaks Dan is a better player than Jacob, but he's also lazier and more of a wage thief.

Soni Luke is the only current Panther. Makes dumb decisions and consistently plays for himself. He also can't defend.

Yes but by the end of this season he will be better than Api Koroisau.

Kurt Capewell, Boyd Cordner, Josh Jackson, Simon Mannering, Dale Finucane.

Basically any backrower or lock that played a heap of Rep Footy despite lacking a skill set.

Heard him nicknamed china. Costs a lot and sits on the bench.

Making 50 tackles a game at 90% plus effectiveness is a skill set. Especially if you typically combine it with 100 run metres

So these blokes doing 7 runs for 46 metres doesn’t cut it?

How very dare you?

Cordner was a good player before his brains got scrambled to be fair. Mannering was also good.

Jackson is the ploddiest plodder to ever plod

Yeah Cordner might be a bit harsh. Always thought Mannering made too many errors for someone who offered sfa with the ball.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Remember NSW regularly picking Cordner and Jackson over Luke Lewis? Dumbmerkins

Mannering was bankable for 40+ tackles and 100+m every game and had the highest effective tackle % in the entire comp for a while.
the main reason he didn’t offer much in attack was his defensive workload.

Simon Mannering

I was going to be try and be jovial about this, but this is just an incredibly shit call.

Mannering from 2005-2011 was a beast - pace, ball skills, solid as a rock on defense, he was incredibly underrated because he did everything well but didn't necessarily have a crazy highlight reel. Worth remembering he was also our captain in our 2011 GF campaign when Price got injured/retired. Then we turned to absolute shit, our attitude stunk and he had to make 50+ tackles a week - therefore his attacking prowess was stunted.

But make no mistake, Simon Mannering is the furtherest thing from a fraud the game has ever seen. He had a massive skillset, a massive ticker and without him, the Warriors would've won multiple spoons but somehow never won one.

Now if we DO want to talk frauds, Dane Nielsen was one.
