I'm just gonna say it

[The Brain]

Seroiusly are you all cimplaing? I have never seen a player work as much as he does .
The bloke who handles the ball the most will often make the most mistakes .
We have lost our halves ,captains , and a few players...goes in every week and fills those voids.
No complaints from me.

Bumping this, when we needed a half to stand up in the last 10 minutes and they didn’t I appreciate that Teddy was, as always willing to put his hand up but it was to the detriment of the side tonight. He’s not a first receiver off the ruck, there’s too much panic to our attack when he’s directing the side.

Agreed but walker was quiet tonight on that department too.. I would like to see him play a little bit more as the first receiver to help with the issue you mentioned because we tend to lose our way when teddy assumes FB and 5/8th.

I fully agree with Rooster 6. I have had this thought a number of times over the past few months.

I get that he wants to stand up and be a leader in the absence of experience, but there are better ways to do it instead of spinning around and running sideways. Teddy plays his best when he runs straight lines, ball plays and can get quick play the balls.

Walker and Hutch both went missing in the back end of the game. Not having a crack at either it’s just the reality of where they are at and where we are at as a team. Felt like we were just looking to Joey Manu and Teddy to create something for us, both individually brilliant but neither know how to organise a set.

Teddy has a habit of trying too hard sometimes

I need to re-watch the game once I've settled down, but I can't remember Sam doing anything in attack in the last 10. Was it Teddy getting in the way or Walker going missing? I dunno.

No matter how young Sam is he comes across as a confident young player. He needs to be getting in there during the clutch moments, calling for the ball and directing the play.

Yeup, agree with the criticism levelled at Teddy here. All part of his development I suppose to become more judicious and not try to do everything himself.

things didn't come off for him tonight. realistically he had the same involvement as in the game a few weeks ago when he would have been jipped if he didn't get all 6 dally m pts.

A fair summary. I thought young Walker didn't hit the mark especially tonight. Throw in Hutch who's....Hutch ...and a struggling Verrils it showed our fighting qualities to nearly win it regardless.

Teddys crabbing from left to right and back annoys me because defences have caught onto that and just have time to to straighten up and block any possible space he can get through, yet he still keeps doing it, and sometimes he gets penalised for running behind a teammate. Many here have seen it so why isn’t Robbo seeing it and has a word to him and tells him to stop that and looks to either straighten up or just pass it to a running forward?
