Compare his effort levels vs Crowther. He never gets stuck in, avoids the hard take up balls and since his injury 4 years ago has never been the attacking threat again to make up for it. His contraxt extension is crazy in my opinion.

We need a 2nd rower that offers more.

It is very sad that "fans" throw so much crap at individuals ... unfortunately it won't change. It seems to make them feel better.

Gallant effort and no shame in defeat. We had more strike out wide but didn't get enough good ball out there. Saints scored one very dodgy try and Bullock got sinbinned for no other reason than Walmsley did so he needed to even it out. Good effort Wire.

Williams, Drinkwater, Matautia, Kasiano, Harrison, Nicholson are all not good enough really. The latter two are squad players for me, not first choice. The middle two are championship level at best. Drinkwater can kick and thats it. Williams is just lazy, he's never been the level of hype people put on him. As somebody else said - Flat Track Bully.

I don't hate on drinkwater he is what he is - I think defensively he's OK and yeah he can kick. Williams for me just doesn't do near enough to influence a game considering he's our star man. Harrison and Nicholson I agree but I'd absoluteky want to keep them.

He is far away our best chaser of kicks, he is more often than not the first one to meet an attacker in defence, he makes a lot of good ditch tackles. We need a better halfback to offer HIM more.

Can someone explain "Flat Track Bully" for me?

Only real positive for me this season is getting rid of Powell. Huge gamble on Burgess but I'm looking forward to it.
