Which is pointless when it takes forever and a day to get up....
It's like the Ball isn't a thing in his tackles...
Just waiting on it to come out.
When he half fumbled the ball that Fifita lost yesterday - No one was more surprised than him.
He should be our David Gower... First up when you're down on troops.
I don't know he gets a gig in any other top 17. (Not that he's on his own there)
Agree. He is coming off a longer run up now but still gets stopped at the line. He is in good company.
He got monstered multiple times yesterday....

Part of the reason why we have no go forward.
A nothing player with zero impact.

Sure he makes a lot of tackles, but have you ever seen him make a strong tackle? Teams get on a roll when he is on the field. He gives us very little ruck control. His runs are ineffective. Easiest middle forward to tackle in the entire competition. He makes Sharon Woods look like Shane Webcke in comparison.

Gone backwards
There is a reason he has never scored a try, it's because he just doesn't push through the line.
He is a prop size body, plays like a lock however he isn't fast or have the ball skills to be a lock.
Never seen someone run hard from the back fence then totally stop before the line and then get pushed back every time.
It's great he can make a tackle but he is a prop and we need him to make meters, something he sucks at.
The reality of how bad things are is that currently he is our 3rd or 4th best prop behind Stefano, Tamou and Musgrove, next year currently he will become our 2nd or 3rd best option.

Sadly, this is very true.
Runs at the line with the impact of a pillow.
Never stings in any tackles.
He has to be given ONE single role...and that is, go out there for 80 and chase every single thing that moves. Zero impact, but chase everything for 80.
He is the WORST POSSIBLE BLOKE to have on the bench...and yet the coach picks him there.
Almost unbelievable. He is either 80 mins or nothing.

He literally offers nothing from the bench. A wasted interchange.

I agree that he should start, and he's a prop only in my opinion. No way he's a modern game lock.
Most here were critical of eisenhuth with similar arguments made against twal, yet he plays well at Penrith. I think you all underappreciate twal and also how difficult it is to have impact on a team getting dominated. He does the little things right like tackling well and avoiding errors and getting good play the balls which others on our team can't match.
Coach has definitely told him not to offload because he often has his hands free and doesn't pass. This would be an aspect of his game that should be developed.

Something's definitely weighing him down @Pascoes_barber
Every changing environment of the game Mr.
Seems Sheens won't ever be the actual coach but will be involved across the club, perhaps even overseeing and mentoring of a new younger coach... in Johnny Morris, I hope.
What are your thoughts?
You like Maguire?
You want him to continue employed in head coach role?
Simple yes or no would he appreciated.

The other thing that doesn't help any of our forwards is whenever they make a hit up there's hardly ever anyone pushing up with them in support so they're just sitting ducks.

And our backs do nothing to help them out, that’s if they manage to field the kick without dropping it.

liddle needs to learn how to avoid him when we are attacking . After he learns to pass
