Tell us why instead of sooking on every post.
Benji and Robbie never learned how to manage a game of footy until they both left this club and saw how it should be done elsewhere.
Lui got it. If he could have handled his piss a bit better and kept his hands to himself, we may have managed another premiership with him.
Wattaya know, A QLDer banging on about a nufty Qld Half....
He wasn't a game manager, He was a 5/8 (For most of his career - Here, and elsewhere)
that played a bit part role here - Well Behind Farah and Marshall...
Only playing 7 in NRL here - Because of the bloke in the 6 - Like Moltzen (The 5/8) before him.
I can't tell you why, I'm not any of them... I would suggest it might be a lack of ability?
- Considering Lui only played another 40 odd games in the 10 years of his career in the NRL after he left the WT's at 21.
Also didn't make any major waves in the comp playing 4 years with one of the best halves
anyone here is ever likely to see..
(Again, Playing alongside a player that played 6 or 7 much the same way)
Where he started in the 7 before moving into the 6, and then shipped off to the UK so the Cows could win the comp.
Also didn't have much of a voice, Rob is a very quiet personality.... Might be another reason for you.
Game manager? No chance in hell.
Good player on his day - But a natural ball runner, Not an organiser
(And certainly not a manager)
Won 5/8 of the year twice in 20's IIRC - Behind a good game managing 7 in Juniors - Dessie Nichols
He wasn't even a 7 in Super League FFS...
Banging on like he was because he wore that jumper for 2 years here when he was a baby,
with some level of success....
Just doesn't change how it actually was (No matter how Maroon those goggles are)
ps: It could also be argued that Benji or Farah both never really learnt to manage a game...
