Marty

[Coops manly]

never to play again in the maroon and white the bloke has disappointed me so much this year selfish player extremely obvious in his body language that he is in it for himself and is dirty we didn't offer him a contract over it

 

[Pepi]

Jakey is just as bad sometimes

Nah.. Jake doesn't walk around the ruck with his head down and miss crucial tackles. Jake doesn't throw a very low percentage play when we are up 60 seconds from half time. Can't believe we are playing that primadonna 800k

 

[castle eagle]

my daughters other half calls him 'handbrake' because of the way he stops before the defensive line these days

No Jake gives a set restart on the 5th tackle that leads to 6 points. It looked intentional too. I'm over his dumb moments as well as taupau.

 

[bob dylan]

Geez he made a mistake, it was bad.

But didnt DCE throw the ball over the sideline on tackle 2 - or did they not have enough brainpower to give away a couple of restarts after Marty's stupid pass so Souths only got one or two tackles within the last minute.

I might add that Bullimore is not a first grader and Ben needs more time, probably a start against Tigers would do him the world of good.

A few weeks ago there was talk of a trade off with Marty and a couple of gun players up Qld and I was preying could work....but knew the other teams involved were not stupid enough to trade....as for Jake, would love a more versatile lock as slow in the modern game and more an 80,s style player, still love his big heart and effort so find it tough to aim up on him compared to others not having a go and May suprise when all our strike players are available

More than one mistake and very little effort.

Didn't see the game - heard the game though so I know Marty had a shocker.

Guy is coming back from Covid though - do we give him the benefit of the doubt on this?

Tapau is bidding fair to be the least effective highly paid prop forward (over an extended period of time - 7 seasons) in the club’s history.

Agree with most of that bob but Marty's issues tonight were not confined to 1 mistake... he made zero impact, did not control the ruck, had no fast play the balls and made some very weak tackling efforts... he was just poor...

 

[effnic]

Jake and Marty cost us that game.

I actually will... I was not aware of that and he looked like a bloke with no energy - long covid would explain that...

Not sure stupid offloads at inappropriate times is one of the lingering effects of Covid

 

[bringbackbeaver]

Should be dropped after that effort

 

[joeboy]

He hasn’t got enough good will stored up to get any latitude from me, he is, was and will continue to be dreadful, he slapped the club and his team mates in the face tonight. The team under severe duress and he couldn’t muster a single #uck

And then the opportunity cost of what 800k could have brought in. What the club has missed out giving one forward what is essentially a golden handshake season.

That one right before half time really hurt I agree.

But i'm thinking the missed tackles might well be covid-related gassing.

I'm sure Marty would be hurting about his performance tonight, and how he bounces back is what matters here. He could well feel he single-handedly squandered an (albeit slight) advantage we could have carried into half-time.

Ultimately we lost be more than the 4-pts we led by when he **** the bed tho.

Not here mate, they want blood.

Jake needs to go back to prop and very occasionally ball play. Similar to James Graham use too.

I think Nate Myles has that sewn up.
