Little Grubber Kick

What a load of bollocks, but I'm sure you mean well. 😉What a load of trollop. As much as we all like BJ, he was never in the class of the Stewarts or Kite. People say he has been outstanding this year - well he has given his all that is for sure; however, outstanding?
Outstanding for a prop is a 180m, 40 tackle effort in a game - that is outstanding, BJ has made 286m and 91 tackles in three games with an average of 95m and 30 tackles - hardly outstanding. He also has the equal highest error count in the team and gives away quite a few penalties - again, not outstanding.
Don't get me wrong, he tries very hard and is a quality person, but I think emotion can cloud people's judgement. And yes, age is a factor that you just can't ignore - 33 next year which will see those stats get worse, not better.
Perhaps a re read and maybe a little understanding of 'metaphor' might serve you well. My point was 'don't put the boot into someone whom is currently a very important part of our culture........'
I do understand 'bean counters' never understand culture in any meaningful way.....such is life.
