To be fair, he was shithouse 1 v 1, dropped sitters he would normally swallow and was late to read the play and help out.
Just had a rough day and it stuck out like a sore thumb because it's as rare as rocking horse s**t these days...

Been questions about whether he is carrying some injury. Any truth in this from the inner scrotal types, or just general midseason wear and tear?

He was ordinary although he was BOG in the melee.
Am sure he'll bounce back this week.

It has been suggested that Tarrant, 29, should be replaced by an untried 19 year old.

If Thompson goes round again next year I wouldn’t be against swinging a Taz forward to allow McKay to develop at Full Back.

He should get even better next year

It's more than a shame, it's negligence.
Scott doesn’t trust the young blokes to step up and play a role.
Only exposes them if he actually HAS to.

Should've been rested, his worst game all year. But not a big deal, end of season anyway. However, I really would've liked to have seen Ben McKay in his place.
I hope he is injured because if not he has regressed back to the fork days.
And Brad Scott can go * himself if Robbie is injured.
Why you would deny a young key defender in good form to play someone injured in a dead rubber is mind boggling.

Could barely bend over to pick the ball up today. Been like that most of the year actually. Shouldn’t have played, BMac should’ve.
It’s a disgrace that Scott kept playing him while he had a player in McKay that was ready to play at level.

Not really , today yeah absolutely should of been rested ... but in the last 5-6 weeks we were in finals contention. so he plays .
He should have rested him in that 5-6 week block to freshen him up if he was carrying something.
Very poor player management.

Should’ve rested Brown and Cunnington as well then .
If they were injured then yes.
Running players into the ground rarely gets you the results you want.
