OFFICIAL Esan Marsters [Discussion]

[rihannafan1]

So bizarre. He was a great rookie. But I've not read any analysis that pinpoints his drop in form. I could only see a lack of effort and focus?

He and Hess have been a flash in the pan.

He leads the league in all the bad stats, like bad reads and mistakes that lead to tries.

He was bog average in state cup with us (often in sec row) and has always been a poor player.

He had one good spell as an nrl center for us and that ended as soon as teams worked out he has no ability to draw and pass...slow for a back and very poor defensively. It is a miracle the Cows came in for him. I swear that footage of Madge dancing at Esan's wedding 'had' to be partly him celebrating the fact we had got out of his contract 🙂

Esan Marsters was good in 2017-18. No good after that. Never improved, in fact, he went backwards.

It’s funny that people talked him up as a great signing for cowboys. He fixed none of the issues he had at tigers and has seemingly got worse his defence and work ethic is atrocious

He even asked Madge for more money apparently, dodged a bullet there.

Yup, in every game I've watched him play for the Cows the commentary team were full of praise - very strange.

In all honesty I was upset we lost him, just because I thought if we persevered he would have come good. But it's obviously not happening.

He seems to be lacking confidence atm
I dare say he will end up in the back row.could be really dangerous on the edges with that offload ready to pop

Oh no not another confidence player .. good grief !

 

[The_Patriot]

As a new coach your only real play is to drop him or bench him and hope he pulls his finger out. As a player he wants it easy and doesnt want to fight.

One of our best recruitment decisions was releasing him.

? he has got it in him
Maybe I’m being optimistic cause I have no bad feelings towards him

Esan was terrible for us almost every game. His form only deteriorated with the cows. Paul Green buying his signature was laughable. Green really is a shocker of a coach. With a bit of luck, the Donkeys will snap him up.

 

[bigsiro]

What a fall from Grace since he left us...

Not really.
He was about this crap when he was here.
Just shows how rosy the glasses are that people wear if they see anyone wearing our colours.

 

[tony soprano]

Shouldn’t been made a centre but probably wouldn’t make it in back row

 

[walter]

He’s not the greatest player but doesn’t help when the cowboys are crap

That’s not completely true, Marsters was a pretty good player for us, even playing for NZ. Last year he was our leading try scorer (although his form got worse as the season went on). I don’t think giving him the kicking responsibility helped his confidence at all.

He’s much worse this year imo, completely hopeless.

AD could fall into the same boat as Esan, cant quiet nail fullback centre or five eigth.
Esan had that one good year

Has he been tried at centre or 5/8?

 

[Yossarian]

He (Marsters) was/Is good at what he does well, using his body to attract defence and offloading. Once clubs understood this and realised he had no plan B it has not been good for old Esan. Whether he can prosper in the back row I don't know. Once again Maguire has previously proven to be a very good judge.

The Signs were there way back...

When you think you made it... Thats where you have to work hard to keep it going.

Its pretty obvious Thurston ( except for his final year ) held the cows together - they have been a shambles since he retired.

I don't think Green is a crap coach ...but he spent far too long at the Cowboys

Probably should have left the year after the losing GF ...he hasn't been helped with the massive injury toll

Their chief play maker hasn't played all year and last season was completely out of form

Remember this bloke along with Taumalolo got them to a GF
