Mate I’ve been saying the same thing since about 2019
Every year we are pretty much a disappointment.. ok last year too 4 was great on paper but anyone that watched footy knew we just made up the numbers..
My personal opinion is the same it’s been the last 3 or 4 years..
We arnt a legit threat with our first choice centres
We arnt a legit threat with croker at 9
We arnt a legit threat with this prop rotation (only one worth their coin at the moment is alioai)
We arnt a legit threat with jake thinking he’s a 5/8 and forgetting to make any hard runs (this origin game just highlighted how much we miss his old running game minus the ball player stuff)
And the jury is still out on the shue but so far me, personally, am not impressed with him…
He does some FANTASTIC plays, but more often than not is either nowhere to be seen or throwing idiotic no look passes to the turf…
If he’s a 5/8, play him there to grow .. if he’s a back row, play him to grow there.. this crap he is doing now , he isn’t worth 5cents to the squad
