Jahream Bula #269

[AmericanHistoryX]

Aren't those rumblings found...on this message board?

Because I'm having a hard time remembering Benji or Richo suggesting Bula wasn't a fullback...

Is he?

 

[The Chad]

Is he?

Is he not?

History appears to be on my side here..

 

[The Chad]

Time will tell my friend …

This, I can agree with.


Still, the original argument about involvement is clearly bollocks.

Your history. At the moment we are still at the bottom.

There are so many stats that you can find some to support any argument …

I’ll say he has had a step backwards this year …

Same.

Yet, the stats you show surprise and challenge my view. At the risk of deluding myself to justify an old position… what I feel like I have seen is a lower intensity.

His kick returns previously looked dangerous and often were one hand away from breaking the line. I rarely see that this year.

His cover from the 4th tackle, eg positioning for the kick seems 5 meters short of where it needs to be.

I think he will be much better next year but to me, at best he hasn’t improved.

well … that was never my argument…I don’t think he has played as well as last year … my opinion

he had a lot of games last year where he was the best player in the Tigers team … i can’t say the same in any game this year at first thought

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Under a better system.. he could thrive.

That was the reason for the first response I made- in relation to the argument 'he just doesn't get involved enough'.

Who does? Apart from Api? And you see where that gets us? What is your point.

I will say it is rare that a player improves on their output but plays worse.

Could it be the team is playing better & he doesn't stand out as much?

Easy- he's more involved than nearly every fullback in the NRL, but some on here want to suggest he needs to do more, or be shifted to the centres.

Catch up dude, geez.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

But you just said he doesn't get involved enough?? Are you for real?

Well, it could be I'm losing my mind I guess....but I think I argued against it...

However, I'm feeling my age lately, so who knows where my mind is at. I could just about run for US Presidency at this rate.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

You are not losing your mind. You are finding it. Love your work TC. Thank You.

I’ve gone off “science “ a bit these days… it’s funny how a lot of scientific studies tends to support whoever is putting up the money ? I’ve never been into religion to tell you the truth …

let’s see how long he plays at the fullback position … already some rumblings to move him..

The greatest study of the modern era was of other studies.

It showed that over 70% of study results are not replicated by the next 3 studies

So the minority rule. Money. Power. Thank you MC. You nailed it.

If anything happens to Edwards he might get a look in for the third Origin maybe ? Madge might he looking at the same stats you are

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Why can't there be a 4th Origin. More money?
