Hold on, you aren't suggesting Moses spraying TDS for making a horrible decision is the reason TDS then stuffed up another 2 times, are you?
I once had a supervisor who conducted herself like Hitler. She could scare you shitless. On you like a flash if you made a mistake. Sometimes she’d be behind you, guiding you through a task, and you could almost feel the fire she was breathing on the back of your neck. In those moments, you freeze. And the most simple tasks can become as complicated as learning to speak Chinese backwards. You can’t claim with a straight face that there’s no way the first spray didn’t rattle him. Once you’re rattled, it’s not difficult for your confidence to be shot and your brain goes on smoko.

if that's the case, then it further supports the argument that TDS was not going to be ready to be the starting hooker in 2027... Can't be a starting player and get rattled like that in a game that meant nothing whilst playing for a bottom 4 team.
 
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Luai blow up at someone for a play falling apart this year.
In saying that though I recall a crucial point in the Eels v Tigers game where we / Luai had numbers on the left and TDS picked the ball up and stepped right before passing left which went beyond Luai. I guess that was just a snapshot of what we saw this weekend with him at dummy half.
But the key moment that sticks with me is that in the trial v the eels when TDS got subbed after attempting a strip on illongii that he was so in his head that he didn’t celebrate a try that his teammates scored shortly after.
Needs to be a team player, Moses is a boss and certainly not a good example of a team player but he is far better footballer than TDS so to win a game you’d think you’d make sure he gets a good pass.

tbf Luai sprayed Jack bird and the media went crazy over it. Context matters the situations were very different

Yes. This happens to incompetent people.
 
After seeing that 10 mins from TDS I cant believe there is someone suggesting that we should have kept him over API 😅😅.. he needs far more than another 12 months development.
Yeah you can make judgements about someone’s whole career based on 10 minutes of football but I think it normally needs more then that.

I think its pretty obvious I am saying that and I am not sure why that would be an outrageous claim.

A kid very early in his NRL career, at a new club in an extremely tense situation. Moses being probably the best half in the comp right now, an origin and australian rep. I can absolutely see how a blasting could of been a distraction for TDS.

How would you go in your workplace if a very senior person blasted you in front of clients, customers, whoever. Reckon it would put you off your game?
 
Weve all seen players cop it from their (c) for a cock up....but these were way ott and its why its all over social media.

Theres also that strategy where when a.player errs...his team mates will do the opposite to a spray....no one performs well or better when theyve just been humiliated especially in public.
Weve seen Luai do it but not to the extent we saw yesterday....very poor from moses.

I didnt see him give JAC a gobful.when he didnt catch that last kick...played at it soccer style... and gave the cowboys that final attacking chance

As a half you have to hold people accountable but you can’t let emotion get the best of you in these situations.

I judge him against the benchmark he set when he gave the club an ultimatium to punt the club captain, premiership winner and state of origin player.

I guess I could romanticise because he was a junior and fantisize about what he could become - instead I choose to judge it based on actual performances in the NRL.

I am sorry, the Rugby League field is not a "regular workplace".. there's no comparison.. Itd be like going back to the days of the gladiator and crying about not getting a fair go.

If he can't cop a spray and move on, how easy is it going to be for the opposition to talk some trash and get in his head?

If he's that fragile, then we made the right call letting him go.

Easy from the sidelines isn't it?

Humans are fallible. Particularly young ones. Tallan will be fine.

I think calling him a fkn C* is probably a bit over the top and way beyond what I would call a justified spray...I played the game for a number of years and never heard anyone give a spray like that. There is something else going on there with TDS. Moses might win them games, however he will never win them a premiership.

When I was playing , calling someone a "fkn cnt" was pretty common. "Why'd you do that you useless cnt"... No one lost sleep over it . Maybe it's a generational thing...

But you could be right and there's more to it, I wouldn't have a clue.
