    He is very average. Has speed & can find the try line, but a defensive liability & defence wins premierships. He puts everyone else around him under do much more position & he has no idea on defensive structure or lines.
    But to be fair our recruitment over the last few years has been up there as the worst in the comp,
    Townsend.
    The Cheese,
    Lenui.
    Young.
    Flanno.
    JS - not talent wise but got his clauses & what we paid.
    Then the misses
    Couldn’t get Gayguy, Fifita, didn’t even try for Lomax when we knew Manu & JS we’re going, plus our complete lack of talented goal kickers where he could have been useful.

      And why do people get so worked up over words?
      Cmon mate, you know the answer to both of these questions.

      Words that don't specifically mean anything in particular (especially in the context they are used) but are interchangeable with numerous situations both negative and positive. They are used to appease and/or diffuse without delving any further than surface level. Trent is a big proponent of them.

      People aren't worked up by the words in this case, theyre worked up by the lack of action behind the words. The perceived hollowness of the words. We've lacked discipline and "footy smarts" for quite a while now.

        Look DY has genuine X-factor with his pace and awkward running style. He's a handful for the opposition and puts himself in good position to score.

        He also has the defensive decision making ability of an U7s player and it doesnt seem to have improved in the slightest.

        He has uncoachable traits that make him stand out positively. You'd like to think he can be coached on his defensive issues, but it hasn't clicked for him yet. Perhaps ressies will help him learn quicker.

          Most of you guys wanked him off majorly when the signing was announced because he's got speeeeeeed big man go vroom vroom but speed means nothing when you do an imitation of the Allianz turnstiles in defence. Once again the chookpen latching on to a single idea gets it wrong.

          Dom Young, Dick Cheese, Spencer Leniu, Angus Crichton I haven't hated this many players wearing our jersey since we collected all those stray dogs in 2008

              Coaches speaking at surface level… well I never.

              People just love to be outraged let’s be honest.
