Under Fatigue

Has anybody noticed that Andrew Johns is in love with this term. So much so that players are apparently under fatigue in the first 10 minutes of a game.

I am unsure whether he knows exactly what this means...

I watched an old origin with Johns with a buzz cut. Boy missed a shirt ton of goals in that game as well.

It's his go to phrase along with "he's a freak" or "he'll play origin this year for sure" . Let's face it, the bloke was a super footballer but is a prime example of footy smarts not stretching beyond the white line.

I think Anthony Griffin is suffering from a worst bout of fatigue than Ivan Cleary was at the end of the 2015 season.

Analytically, he's awesome. But they should use him pre-game, at half time and post match. And leave it to tactics, explanations of plays, etc. He's really, really great at that.

In game calling, nope. He's as useless as tits on a bull.

Which always makes me wonder what Lockyer is. He isn't colourful, or blokey. He's witless and charmless. And he's dead dull. Furthermore, as a 'great' who played two positions over 15 years of footy at the top for club, state and country....he has all the insight of a caterpillar foraging deep inside an empty wet paper bag wondering where all the chlorophyll got to.

He's a queenslander. Thats all that is required to get a gig calling Broncos games

Like you said analytically there's no-one better than Joey, on radio he would be perfect, on tv it's disconcerting when he searches the sky for fairies as he goes through his spiel

Poor league players, blokes sitting on the bench for 50 mins a week must be really fatigued.

Locky went to the NRL's version of Centrelink and they were obliged to find him a job.

Was that game 1 1998? Johns lost that game on his own with his poor goal-kicking, and in turn lost the series

No I've been picking up the Heritage collections box tins at JB Hi Fi.

Trying to do a 1980s - Current Day League collection and they were on sale.

While I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself to pick up the QLD collection I did watch the NSW collection when I was home alone last weekend but NSW win all the games on the collection so it can't have been the 1998 one.
