no but nor is your proposition that he is an imbecile. He is actually quite intelligent - completed some sort of university degree of late (and not some cop out degree at a glorified tafe either). I dont think he is brilliant at the moment but he is a vital cog in our side going forward and should be afforded the opportunity to develop as such. The fact the side is going well is allowing us to keep him in there atm and come into his own in time which can only be a good thing. I do agree that I am itching to see blokes like Napa, Evans, Tasi get a run this year...

Never implied he was an imbecile more a slow learner

So you think that the reason he consistently gives away ruck infringement penalties for lying all over the attacker is because he is still recovering from a foot injury?

Look mate, I think it's fair to say that most of us want Marty in the side going forward. I know I do.

It's just a frustrating thing to watch a bloke consistantly give away penalties that cruel the whole side. Silly penalties at that.

The last 2 games now he has given away penalties with his first tackle of the game.

He gave away at least 3 today for the same bonehead shit, it's just not good enough.

Well said. I think youll find this doesnt reflect the view of the over-reactive majority

Everytime he makes a tackle I get scared.

This. I scream at him to get up and can't even blow up when the penalty is blown because it's nearly always justified.
