geez this super coach shit is going to kill the game. all i can say once again is stats schmats.
you only need use your eyes to see what level jake king should be playing at.
if we are to play a shedload of smalls each week surely they must in the main be classy highly skilled quick players who know where to go to get plenty of it. most of ours are plodders who have one redeeming feature but fall down in other areas..
the trouble with our list atm is its made up of far to many smalls of whom far to many are ordinary players or fail to meet the critweria smalls need to meet..
matt white poorly skilled poor decision maker does not get a lot of the ball but geez hes quick. why is he getting a game i dont need to watch him play to know hes a battler.
without going into it others who are in the same boat, that is they they lack in key areas but may be okay in some.
king, edwards, tambling, nason, nahas,white gilligan and king. it only leaves an ageing cousins, foley who is a very good player and off sets a lack of skill with almost elite ability inside and winning the ball, and webberley who i think is a decent player or solid rather than classy. we have regularly gone into games with nearly all these smalls on game day.its an area we have to change and if we wont change the structure and we insist on going small we need to find smaller players who are more classy and skillful.
imo we have 5 6 smalls who are worth their spot cousins, foley, who are miles in front of the other smalls on the list, nason just, webberley tambling and perhaps edwards. on game day there is no way i would be taking more than 4 or 5 of these players into games unless they meet the criteria or bring an out and out redeeming feature to the side.
want to be competetive want to win a premiership its easy just be bigger stronger faster with a fair sprinkling of skill.
