I'd have Ben Reynolds ahead of our two current halfbacks even now. I didn't want him to play for the Roos, unlike you dimwits with CH - I wanted him to kick, pass and organise something we still haven't solved. Oh, and you'll remember I thought it a good idea to keep Benji out of first grade so he wasn't injured for the next 5 seasons. You're good with stats, how many games did the kid miss through those long term injuries before he was developed enough for the NRL? It was certainly more than he played at one sad stage.
And how many games did Reynolds play before busting his leg.
Furthermore, how many more did he play after said injury.
He was a sh*t player.
Heighington is more a first grade player than Reynolds ever could or would have been. I know it's a bit rare and odd, but occasionally some players have a run of very good form.
You won't ever want to admit it, but 99.9% of the league world agreed that Heighington was good enough for the Roos when his form was good.
His form isn't so good now. It's clear and obvious, everyone can see it. Everyone else understands the fluctuations in form which some players go through.
But please, do go on. Reynolds was the answer, it's a shame he's not still around.
Heighington was never good enough for first grade. He should have played Lacrosse instead. He did nothing but prevent O'Hara from securing a regular gig in the top team.
And poor Shannon McDonnell, he's real fast and would've been an awesome fullback for us this year.
You sit here and pontificate about how everyone else bangs on about certain players, and then turn around with your very own cliche's.
Your no better or worse than everyone else here but seem to think you're some form of know-it-all whose vision far exceeds that of everyone elses.
