Snake's Alive!
You can't be player of the year when you only start in 9 games, don't make the cut in a few others, and come off the bench for 20 minutes for the rest.
Sure, he has played well in the last 1-2 months, but he hasn't been explosive, he has just been good.
The problem is his upright running style; it's great running at the halves and centres on the edges, but as soon as he runs at a decent forward, he gets absolutely smashed. Take Friday night for example. It was a crucial moment in the game when we were playing well, and he got dominated, and Starling spilled the pill the next ruck after pooping his pants.
The old Manly pack were the most feared in the league under Des, and now we are known as soft, and I can't stomach that one bit.
