I know why he is doing it I wonder if he is coached to do it. There was one instance recently where I think DCE was trying to drag him off a player and he still held on subsequently giving away a 6 again.
Marty
- Thread starter simon64
- Start date
Marty did a dumb thing throwing that pass, DCE did a dumb thing early in the tackle count when we were attacking their line - throwing that stupid looping cut out pass for Saab into touch and Jake gave away far too many six agains. We are a dumb football side. All of these errors were at crucial times of the game where different decisions may have led to victory. So just cant blame Marty. I just can't understand how we keep doing stupid things.

You should have a sleep if you are tired, watch some of Marty’s hit ups - that will help!
Disagree I thought he would have a Ben Kennedy like affect on us when he signed but I have been very underwhelmed with what he has delivered us.
Will not be missed imo.

Is that you Blocker?
The constant stupidity is a reflection of our on-field leadership. Just compare DCE and Taupau vs Lyon and King. Individualistic, self-serving and soft, entitled mentality vs Team-first, selfless and tough, uncompromising mentality.
Taupau gets blame as he should be our leader in the middle, but he never really took any responsibility. Even hated doing gym sessions with the rest of the team for a while. If it weren't for the Trbojevics, Foran (& now Garrick), our club culture would be in the toilet
Difference being you keep Marty out ,not much difference to end result .Pull Jake this team gets an extra 20 put on them.
Apples to pears !
Well maybe in comes with expectations.
I never saw Taupau at a Kennedy type....completely different play and personality.
I saw him as a high quality professional who would make 150-160 metres, 25-30 tackles with a few offloads and tackle busts thrown in there.
For the vast majority of his time that is what he is done.
Also his contract is back ended, so you cant go judging him on the huge amount he is on this year. We offered that structure as it benefited us. Judge him on the average value of his deal
Just some stats on our props
Marty down on form, sure, needs to pick it up, yeah ok, value for money this year, nah wouldnt say so.
But a disgrace, needs to be dropped immediately, doesn't care etc etc....pull your heads in
As for last week, well it was great but it was a comeback game from Covid so I'll be forgiving there

Again disagree….pull Jake & we have less try’s scored against us & put extra points on. All good mate we all have opinions & they all matter.

Martin Tapau spotted after attending church on Sunday. The cornrows might be an elaborate wig.
Doesn’t look too worried about his current form:

Needs to have a big game v the Tigpies
To save himself on Silvertails

Oh, ok. So you are funny AND insightful? How bout you shed some light on why Marty’s performances lately don’t deserve criticism? Or is it below you to counter an opinion with your own? I’d love to know what Marty brings to the table, it seems the majority here think not much at present

Marty’s been playing injured since the first game of the year for one. Secondly knowing you’re surplus to requirement would affect 99% of players, thirdly you have no idea what’s happening in the background. Also tell me honestly whether you believe Jake is worth $930k with all the bull$hit 6 agains which have led to more trys against us than Marty’s lapse in mongrel? If he deserves criticism so does Jake. In fact I’d say most of the team deserve criticism. This picking on certain players whilst favouring others gets boring mate. It’s not Marty’s fault the team is playing like $hit!
That’s fair, and I am critical of Jake, I have criticised for years in his penalty giving and ineffectiveness in parts of the game, I guess Jake and others get more leeway as you see the effort, whereas with Marty I’m not seeing much of anything.
I want him to come good, I’m frustrated by him because he still should have something to offer and he isn’t offering it. Penalties don’t make you throw idiotic momentum losing offloads, not caring does.

Is Kapow going to make all those missing tackles ?
They both even with silly penalties though .
