Enter:

Ryan Matterson.

Only plays well against the shit teams and always is put in his place against the top clubs. Probably our most overrated player. I also think he's a bit of a cat.
Im sure our style isnt suiting Matto. Lets face it, BA plays all his forwards as middles. Lots of hit ups required and with our D so compressed they are virtually defending the middle. Matto is very noticeable with his slowness off the ground in D. He's often left at the PTB.

While i dont disagree he looked a much more better player at Roosters and Tigers..playing a bash up merchant is not his go..
Move him to the middle or the left...looks shit on the right..
I think he has a few mates to enter with him if I'm being honest and the higher/ highest paid players are on overs

THAT is the issue - while Matterson is a big body, his playing style is to rely on his ability, and skill.

Arthur has him playing as a brute.

He never played that way for Easts, or Wests.

And he is still a great defensive player.

Are our players being de skilled?
Id be surprised if other clubs arent eyeing our roster in the hope of picking up someone out of form for a reasonable price knowing full well the potential that lies within.
I think its fair to say our premiership window has slammed shut. What an awful shame with such a talented roster. It may take significant time to restore what is currently being under utilised.
Anyway. Theres the Manly game to focus on now.
Do you reckon some of the better coaches pi*s themselves at the way we play? They dont dare say a negative word but they know. Everyone knows. The pressure can only increase and thats not necessarily a bad thing.

Nathan Brown, Junior Paulo, Shaun Lane, and Ryan Matterson's games have all regressed, imo.

Bryce Cartwright - one of the most skilful players in the NRL - is being asked to play as a steamroller.

Yes, I think Arthur, and his team, are coaching the skill out of the players - or at the very least, his coaching style, and tactics, is dulling their skill sets.

We aren’t front loading our skill efforts.

It’s similar to the inverse hall of fame. Not many have escaped it. Today I announce:

Blake Ferguson
Maika Sivo
Nathan Brown


Fergo was a tough choice because he has had a great career but has always been a peanut who consistently makes awful decisions in defence. Has moments of brilliance but at close to $500k a year I bid you farewell.

Maika Sivo is lazy, cannot keep up with the play and only good close to the line. Usually gets found out by opposition wingers with some ticker. His carries are flaccid for a man his size.

Nathan Brown. The handbrake. A mixture of Martin Lang and a 40 year old Paul Gallen. Running with an angry face but making about 2m post contact is not NRL standard. You have also become a lazy defender around the ruck. No wonder Manly pulled their offer and you stayed. They saw the light. It’s a shame BA didn’t.
Like I said, there is no escape from the Shit List.

Shouldn't I be on here mate for being a BA apologist or something?
This list is strictly for the players and coaching staff. And I am the only person that can induct them into the hall of shame.

You however may create a thread to see who the greatest member of this forum is. I think I know who you will vote for because your obsessive signature block is there for all to see.

Sivo and Nathan Brown need to go asap! Can't believe they were re-signed. Unless they are on sub $200k (Sivo) and $300k (Brown) we have been dudded.

Thank f**k Lussick is gone next year too.

Honourable mentions to Will Smith and Timmy Mannah who managed to be inducted 3 times and @Poupou Escobar who is the only forum member to be been inducted by @Avenger.
Good morning Gaz.

I take that back on Pou. That was not professional and a knee jerk Balkan reaction. Sometimes I wish I had a Slovenian background. They are much nicer and less aggressive like our QLD centre.

No problems Sir. I will take him off your list and re-issue.

Reading the thread back again we had some quality banter, but I can’t help but feel like we were both slapping each other with a wet lettuce.
