Did you have trouble comprehending the thread title?

You could quite easily read the thread title to refer to your estimation of what the starting team for 2011 will be in Round 1. The same phrase can be interpreted in two different ways. Tricky language English.

Perhaps you should stick to scoring tries ;-)

I would have score 90 tries standing outside of Matt Gidley.

Playing in a team with Andrew Johns and Matt Gidley probably helped. Tahu scored 82 tries in 97 games at Newcastle as against 25 tries in 63 games at Parramatta.

But in part the difference would also be that he played in the centres at Parramatta whereas he played predominantly on the wing at Newcastle.

Let alone Ben Kennedy and Andrew Johns.

I'm not arguing that point. But to denigrate his amazing achievement by saying those things...

He scored tries at a 90% success rate when at Newcastle. That is pretty freaking crazy, Joey Johns and Bedsy or not.

No, YOU could. Pretty simple for most.

Whoa ... I'm not denigrating Tahu's achievement. I'm just trying to put some context into his lack of tries at the Eels. Notwithstanding 2010, its hard to escape the suggestion that its more a reflection on the Eels backline than on Tahu himself.

It is a factor, who he played alongside and where he played. Definitely. You're not wrong.

But I was just saying that he had an INCREDIBLE strike rate for Newcastle. That's all.

Yeah I agree his strike rate was incredible. One of the best buys BS made in the 2005 season.

I think its a shame that recent event are colouring people's perspectives on him.

I agree. I was initially frustrated with him, but always remembered his tremendous ability.

What happenned during your unfair suspension. You seem so sedate. Have u taken angry management classes or has Mrs Sefton (Baulko Girl) tamed you. Its not the same and quite frankly you've become quite boring.

There is no Mrs Sefton, in his 3 months soul searching he discovered his love for Lidcombe Lad. They make a cute couple.

Sorry for stealing your boyfriend SDM but he grew tired of not being satisfied with you having a small dick and man boobs. Maybe you shouldn't be so bitter.
