That's where you lose it with me. You knife Pearce but still stick up for Soward.
Soward is a fringe first grader always has been, he will be lucky to be in the NRL in 6 months.

Feel free to quote me but I'm sure I never said that...
"He plays his role exceptionally well but my assertion of him not having a ball playing game isn't based on a statistic, it's based on watching him play in both the 20's and now First Grade. Statistics just serve as the back up of my assertion. Watch him closely, he has good second rowers running off him but he refuses to play into the line he always plays well before it. Reminds me of Soward during his peak with the Dragons during the Bennett era. Everything he does is well before the line and that's fine because it works for the team he plays in as the creative duties fall on other players."
I've actually enjoyed your posts of late at least they're thought provoking even if I disagree so I hope this is just a misunderstanding and not your usual go after someone even when its quite clear you were wrong.

If you think Reynolds is the reason Souths are a top 4 side I can't wait for the day when Inglis spends a significant period of time out injured. It'll be Bennett leaving Soward all over again, you'll undoubtedly make up crap reasons like 'religion' again as opposed to admitting your were wrong all along.
Religion.... lol. You're so full of it.

I guess you would be a very busy person
Instead of insults numbskill, how about you provide a well constructed argument, or is 2 paragraph's of fact out of your depth??

Originally posted by TDK View PostHey Rooster, unfortunately Souths have a great backup Fullback in Merritt, my Souths colleague reckons while GI is a beast and plays a power game, Merritt is a very good fullback, he was an ex 5/8 as a junior and his passing game and support in the middle of the field is technically better than GIs, I tend to believe him.Born and bred in the eastern suburbs.

Originally posted by pearcesworstnightmare View PostRead the thread and see who brought Soward into the argument, the same blokes who are struggling to defend the Teflon Kid, i will not defend Soward he is a shadow of his former self, however i would still back him to make the clutch play with the game on the line over Pearce every day of the week
I'm sure like me you have been watching Soward since the Flegg days and you would know there is nothing clutch about him.
Yes he is capable of the odd freakish bit of play because he has great speed. But his greatest weakness is that he is a timid and passive player, always has been. Whether it's running the ball or tackling he is always happy to stand back and not get involved. For me it's what has held him back his whole career, I always thought he was talented enough to be a decent first grader.
Anyway who cares about Soward. Like I said to RC if Pearce doesn't get it right this year I will be the first to admit you were right.

Honestly anything with kicking Soward, everything else Pearce.

you know exactly what we were talking about
just like you'd come on here and tell us all how Carney would have to stay at fullback because Braith had to be 5/8, only to then deny it
you're a very sad case
