Snake?

[Mark from Brisbane]

Snake's decline was also spoken about on Talk n Sport today.
With all the talk it is getting hopefully he can pick up his form if possible.
If it is not possible and he is past it , he needs to bow out gracefully.

It's all we want isn't it, if he's unfit stand down and get fit, if his heart isn't in it, bow out gracefully with a big farewell at Brooky.

But don't just "Dog it" taking up $650k a year in cap space for another 18 months.

It's really really simple isn't it!

Coudn't agree more.

Have never seen a player of his quality decline so quickly. Heartbreaking to watch.

Probably in any team, I can't remember a genuine superstar falling so quickly, it's just painful to watch.

I wouldn't say he was a superstar, but Choc springs to mind....mind you the slime may have had an influence on that.

Here is the problem for Barrett.

Does he drop Snake? Does he even have the balls to drop him? Is he allowed to drop him? And the problem is that if Snake is dropped or given time to rest, who to play fullback? The obvious choice is Tommy, but fullback requires a lot of running and with his ankle injury I think the plan right now is to keep him in the centres where he theoretically will do less running. There has been talk of moving Snake to 5/8 and Tom to fullback (Killer returns to the centres), but again that would mean Tom would do more running and other than not playing him, they're trying to limit that.

We could play Wright, Wiliame or even Godinet at fullback.....but are we really that desperate?

One thing is clear.....it can't keep going on like it is. Snake is badly out of form, seemingly unmotivated and clearly injured. Its even got to the point where he hasn't even been chosen to captain the team in the past 2 games even though he is the team vice captain and both Killer and DCE have been out.

Something needs to change soon and the way its looking, sadly it won't be Snake's form.

Sonething needed to change 6 weeks ago

 

[COMMANDER]

There is no one to replace him and he represents a significant portion of the cap.

 

[COMMANDER]

The earthbound Jorge T is as much of a liability as long as he's unable to free himself of the earth's gravitational pull momentarily; which is only the first of his problems, the second being that he can't catch anyway.

Not to mention that alien invertebrates penetrated his skull years ago and ate his brain.

Or was that merely a consequence of inbreeding?
