Inside the meeting that could redefine Trbojevic’s NRL career

[Chunkytuna]

Not like the two inside him have been better.. Garrick and DCE decision making is diabolical. I think his form is dipped as Tom used to put him away all the time. Tom being off form has affected him. Hard done by. I csn think of a few others who should be dropped...

I think Garrick has been pretty good on the whole. It’s DCE that causes all the issues in defence. He doesn’t stick to a structure. Always shooting out of the line trying to cut the play off. Sometimes it works and he gets an intercept - which is why he statistically is right up there for intercepts. But more often than not it doens’t work and creates gaps in the defensive line. Then garrick is forced to follow him in, and in turn Saab needs to follow in. It’s a snowball effect.

To be fair, some of Saab's reads in defence & attempted tackles are probably the reason for his demotion. Hopefully he is back sooner rather than later.

I go back to the Garrick factor in the centres. His Defence has been 3rd grade for most of that time in this position. Whoever is on the wing is fighting a loosing battle if the guy inside is a weak link. His tackling needs to get better sure but if he had a Matai on the inside it would be a whole different story.

The constant reference to the 7 minute interviews is childish and stupid. There is no doubt our players have not be up to scratch and they needed to be told that whether they like it or not. Whether that takes 1 minute or 20 minutes per player is irrelevant although attention spans, particularly when hearing something you don't like, don't usually last for long anyway. I cannot understand why the captaincy has not been taken away from DCE. Who would want to play for a selfish person that derails your season for his own personal agenda. Not me! Jake should captain. The squad looks fragmented and the coach looks to be sitting on his hands. They just have to say they have taken from captaincy from DCE to allow him to concentrate on his own form.

I have a fairly high regard for Garick. I call him Mr Cool. He's a steady unflappable type, who seems to hve a common sense approach to his actions. He's not perfect but he's mature. Gets the job done. Has his deficiencies but works on them.

And he's a point scoring giant, having scored 1298 points in five and a half years, third in ranking behind Eadie and Lyon, both having played many more seasons. He holds the equal record with Rowles and Ridge of 30 points in a game. 9th highest try scorer and quickly moving up the list. Only the fourth time a player has scored 4 tries or more in a game. Hanigan 5 tries, Rowles 4 tries and Garrick 4 tries (twice). Highest number of goals for Manly in a season. And all this in a club that has been going nowhere. The guy is a scoring freak and one you certainly don't want to lose.

Numbers can (as I've been told countless times on here) be made to tell any story. Garrick was an excellent winger and unfortunately a bog average 3/4. Yes he has moments of brilliance but those are too often taken away by moments of stupid.

As far as the numbers hes played outside a very good Turbo for many years. Tom at his best not only scores but also sets up his outside guys more than any other FB. Same for Saab. Garrick is a very good Kicker so obviously those seasons where Manly were attacking gods will obviously bump his numbers.

Hes a very good winger and should stay there.

Assigning tries solely to the skill of another such as Turbo is fraught with danger. Its like saying Olakau'atu's tries are only because of DCE. Both players have to have the skill to complete the task of scoring and assigning Garrick's tries to Turbo who was absent for 50% of the games is even less tangible. For example Parker had Turbo to assist over his eight years in the team. Yet he scored only 29 tries in that time. Garrick has been at Manly for six and a half years and has scored 77 tries. Of course many of those were on the wing but its easy to forget Garrick played full back in many games and has been centre for the past few years yet easily outscores Koula in that position. As for defence, I realise there were noted technical issues about positioning himself as was statistically demonstrated, but his recorded defence success rate is 88.7% while Koula's is 84.6%. Brooks is 86.8%.

Now statistics of course don't tell you everything, but there is such a thing as significant statistical evidence which means the results cant be just random but must be seen as relevant. If the differences in the figures are not great, it can be asserted as potentially random. But where it is wide and consistent variation it is not. Therefore the comparable figures which show Garrick distinctly superior in attack and defence to other players who have played in the wing and centre positions in recent years, implies his performance is superior.

Garrick is an undervalued player on this site. which is not shared by selectors both at club and International level. He is certainly no Turbo and the latter would replace him at any stage other than in goal kicking. But Garrick is a proven winger, (Dally M winger of the year 2021) and preferring him rather than Koula on the wing is understandable, despite the latter being faster. How many players could have set up that amazing 2021 try from behind the defensive goal line. Not many

Our Constant Inconsistent Performances under Seibold Defines his inability to lift his players
And his Innovative 7 minute player Interview failed to Inspire

In a Results Driven Business Seibold is Underachieving
And the ones Holding ALL the Manly out spoken and disappointed fans accountable for Seibolds Poor form are Childish and Stupid
