perhaps BUT Rubens D is pretty shocking. I was listening to Bloke in a bar match review of our bulldog win and they almost fell off their seats when after such a great win Garrick had missed 8 tackles.... A top centre can miss 2 perhaps 3 at maximum in this day and age.
How can people and the coach not see this? Could it be his hair he doesn’t want mess up? Because he always looks to fix his hair after a mixed tackle!

We are all aware of how he defends.

Just some of us aren't crushing on Rueben Garrick like others and notice the difference when Brad Parker, Tolu Koula, Ben Trboijevic and whichever origin or Australian centre you care to name play alongside him.
I didn't know that correctly identifying the main cause of Garrick's defensive issues is 'crushing' on Garrick lol. There are already 6 pages of guys crucifying the bloke for something that is not of his fault. Goose

He is not an assertive defender and the whole right side of our defence is too much all at sea, you know the Dogs will continually target that side is it our biggest weakness, this has to improve!

Okay uncle Peter Garrick thanks for the input. I used 'crushing' on him in its many and various iterations in this constantly shifting landscape of terminology that is one instant meaning something then the next termed derogatory.

I think in your case 'crushing' with no sexual or romantic permutations may have been pretty accurate 😁

The bloke can't tackle anything without a sideline for help. He is also a lazy defender. He also hasn't played centre for seven years. He also hasn't shown in his body language any culpability in his own actions as fricking under ten level to anyone with a modicum of rugby league knowledge of players, plays, structure or general common sense since his first tepid foray into the field of centre play.

He is a defensive liability I have been calling out all year and fans on this page like yourself have argued with. Just don't Peter cause this is me responding on the toilet I'm two minutes with a class about to start in five (and before your little half syphilitic sandwich lovin' brain thinks oh he's a student, nah man I'm a teacher).

Teachers are usually good at holding their **** in. REALLY DUCKING GOOD. Cause you can't leave a class full of kids to go and drop your guts unattended.

And this is me only half warmed up, friend, I keep myself civil here.

But take this to heart. Seriously. Reuben Garrick cannot defend at centre. Lachlan Croker cannot play hooker at Sydney shield level.

Let's debate this civilly or duck off uncle Garrick.

Fire Hashira out.

Funny you say Garrick can’t defend at Center. Thought he’s been outstanding now that he’s getting used to the position. Better than most Centers around. Maybe stick to teaching & stop pretending you’re a Rhode Scholar with your attempted use of the English language. You dislike Garrick, we get it. Stick to teaching coz you obviously have zero idea about Center play.

Don't dislike him at all mate. Just don't think he defends well at centre. Think he is the best winger at the club.

If you think he's better than most centres around then you're entitled to that opinion.

And I'm entitled to mine, and I'm entitled to express it the way I want when someone calls me a goose.

All good….we all have opinions. We all can disagree.

I even thought he turned the corner as a centre in the previous dogs game only to get found out against the sharks the following week. I just see Talau and Koula as preferable with Saab and Garrick specialist wingers and Lehi heir apparent to turbo who should be nursed along and not bludgeoned because he is mentally a first grader while still physically catching up.

Give Lehi exposure, ten to fifteen games a year, or play him as HIA cover but don't wear his body out at this young age, save him from himself, because at twenty three he could be Stephen chrichton, or a broken, slow, smart regular first grader.

Seibold needs to check his own ambitions with this kid. Falaoulo and Paulo are adequate replacements and more expendable cannon fodder for long term club aspirations.

Take it easy Max.

Chopped and changed a few positions this year but Reuben at centre was a constant. And I would argue his defence there was worse tonight than it was in round 1 this year, absolutely zero improvement over the season.

Back to the wing next year, and that’s if he’s any better than Lehi, Saab or Talau there. Either way a pretty poor way to spend 700k however you want to spin it, give or take his goalkicking which is only on half the time anyway.

I would even go as far as shopping him to get a decent edge forward and an Alpha prop.
