He’s a whinging soft ar*e. He just doesn’t like to be tackled. Was the same earlier with a tackle from Ollie Partington! Game stopped while the trainer comes on & plays about with his head & neck. He should be playing soccer not Rugby League!Southern Softy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 1:05 pmVery true. Gold Award for whingeing. That being said, Smithies' other arm did come around into Austin's face. I thought if there was a contact it was the mouth or nose but not the eyes and it didn't seem at all definite.Mickw wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 12:49 pmHe doesn't need to watch himself if he didn't do it,Austin spent all night crying to the ref so until there's proof I'd take it as the boy who cried wolf.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:07 am I did wonder what had gone on report,not good if it turns out to be true but whatever smithess needs to watch himself now
He's a very good player though, I wish he was in our team.josie andrews wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 1:30 pmHe’s a whinging soft ar*e. He just doesn’t like to be tackled.

Why did you think that Budgie was so poor?CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:48 amI was too alarmed by Burgess to put him in comparison lol. That said, if your asking do I think Charnley is better that Budgie (2019 as its hard to judge on one game) the answer is yes.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 1:52 amWas he better or worse than Charnley?CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 12:11 am
He is a complete enigma Joe Burgess! For me he is the complete package for a winger (pace, strength, height, weight and ability to score)......but I believe we very rarely see it these days!
Fairenough he had injuries in 2019, but he doesn't help his case when he makes statements intending to improve in 2020 and appears to look similar to last season.
I know it's only one game in but I wonder if he is genuinely passionate anymore? If you look at Marshy in comparison, he is slightly slower, lighter and small in frame but his enthusiasm is SECOND TO NONE!
Like I said before he went to the NRL the guy scored for fun and destroyed Cronulla upon his return, but he is a shadow of his former self! If its not injuries, its fitness, if not fitness what else is it? Seems like the guy is stealing a wage. To be fair, it looked like he had more pace than last season and he is good under the high ball but his ability to actually score try's and defend comfortably is questionable. Be interesting to see when Dom returns.
The problem is that Clubb and Burgess should be leading from the front and on the evidence of last night we are relying on our juniors to carry this pack. I don't think Clubb played badly last night but he needs to play a lot more minutes and up his game. The Club disagree with you regarding his fitness, age etc., they gave him a two year extension to his contract, so neither of those issues can be used as an excuse if you follow their logic. Personally, I think we should have released him.CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:54 amI thought Tony Clubb was really poor in 2019 in many areas and certainly not alone in the forwards! I actually thought the guy tried really well last night and wasn't poor. I do think he was struggling with fitness though and I think to be fair to him, being the wrong side of 30 and the injuries/surgery he has had over the years it really shows in his games at times.Blackpool_Pie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:16 amClubb looks like hes trimmed up a bit in the off season to me. He was warming up right in front of me during the game and he looked leaner than I've ever seen him
We should have signed Walker, instead Wire stepped in. His distribution and passing from the floor is excellent, he has the pace to exploit gaps, he is tough and makes plenty of tackles.
