Its just so obvious its becoming laughable..
OUR back line... especially the edges are seriously a joke. the glimpses of "form" you see are from the majority of forwards as our pack at times holds it own.
BUT THE BACKS..... what a disgrace.. Ok we dont have Tommy at fullback so Walks is out of position BUT whilst ever Des keeps burying his head in the sand and picking Garrick, Parker, Suli and Saab as combos on the edges we are F*#c**....
combined that with Foran who is really way past his best and an out of form DCE and we are a joke of a team leaking 40 points per game and 90% of those tries come through our edges... SO ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE mad scientist its obvious to my grandmother who has NO idea..
We are the laughing stock of the comp.. So embarrassing I have to laugh at it myself whilst watching.
Garrick- Is a turnstile.. look up the dictionary for turnstile defender and there will be a pic of Ruben Garrick....arm out going one way , body out of balance going the other way, eyes closed and an attacker pushing past his arm... TRY time.. The guy seriously looks afraid to tackle or contest a ball.
Parker- Look up the dictionary under slow foot work and a pic of mr Parker will be front and centre.. he has heart but seriously no speed or footwork at all, you can see every time the attack comes his way his pedaling in the wrong direction or in super slow mo, the guy knows he lacks the speed and it shows in his game play he has zero confidence in stopping attacking plays. He also needs to be taught how to catch and hold a ball and how to throw a pass and we shouldn't be doing that for him in an NRL side .. So back to park footy my man!
Saab- Ok maybe his young and inexperienced but did anyone tell him that being a footy player meant that you actually had to tackle, not just run with the ball... he has no footy smarts whatsoever, rushing out for no reason, arm grabbing and not using his height at all to his advantage.. His defence or lack of is up there with Garrick and this is why we are leaking so many points.
Suli-- another one that must have been at KFC whilst his junior coaches where talking about how to tackle, I cant recall him hitting hard and low, just grabs at a jersey and as the attacker pushes away he stops in disbelief...WTF... wheres the second effort.
Crocker- Sorry bud but no matter how many injury setbacks you have had not matter how much of a "big" thing you were in your junior days you just don't have it at NRL level, especially at hooker, a position that demands footy smarts, solid defence, crisp passing and a running game.. He has ZERO of those attributes .
In summation whilst Des keeps these 5 guys in our team we will NEVER win a game with them there..
Its that simple and laughable because its there for all to see and why cant we make the necessary changes rather than talking the Bulls#*t.. we have character in this team, we need to hold the ball, we need to talk more, we are one win away from turning this around..blah blah..
Simple solution- Piss those 5 numpties off to Blacktown and let them get the wooden spoon.
