Joey may well be completely cooked...

[Cultured_Bogan]

Wonder if he has been told that the club option is not being taken up.

EDIT: it's Jimmy that has the option not Joey. Oops.

 

[BAGNF05]

Definitely cooked, likely deep fried

 

[carltonleach]

Make him a prop and send him to reserve grade!! Run straight and hard is probably the only things he understands. Short sentences without any big words and he might make a decent reserve grade player

 

[hobbo1]

He used to tear us apart when ever he played against up Madge really needed to pull the hook out today

He was a beast at the Rorters
Faded into obscurity at the Raiders
Picked up a retirement package with us

 

[Harvey]

Players got on his outside easily and when the winger jammed in. he failed to chase. An absolute bludger that offers nothing.

Him defending next to his brother is about the dumbest tactical decision I have seen in the 35+ years that I have followed league.

BJ'S body language & defence is concerning.

I think all the teams body language wasn’t good after their second try today. And that included our captain as well. But has anyone got BJ’s game stats

Defensive stats.
9 tackles
7 missed tackles
3 ineffective tackles

Hard to believe but true.

Both do.

Is his run metres in + or -
Cause every run he had it was sideways and then got pushed back

 

[tig_prmz]

I said it at the end of last year.

The only way he keeps his spot is on the bench as 14 but even that isn't possible anymore.

There aren't any diamonds left in him anymore.

 

[getagrip]

I agree with the bagging this bloke is getting. My question is what has he shown in the preseason to justify his selection? I am at a loss.

 

[Roar_Power]

He 100% won’t be in the first grade side next weekend. No chance. It will be JTJ and Talau/ Mbye in the centres.

I would be very, very disappointed if he's in the team. He was dropped last year so hopefully happens again

There is only one good thing to come from your team being smacked the first two games of the season, and that is it is clear that changes need to be made quickly before the season gets away from you. If Madge does not drop BJ, then he has blinkers on. Mbye to left centre, Musgrove in for ....one of the inept performing forwards, and hopefully Roberts back in.

Sorry, I had to change channels in the second half, but I can't remember one forward getting an offload. Did I miss one??

In the second half Twal hit the ball up close to the line, he had 2 players on him and his arms were clear. Laurie was there in support but he made no attempt to offload.

I thought the exact same thing at the time.

Let’s call a spade a spade. Twal is a deadset plodder. But I’ve been saying for 2 seasons now, he just needs to add an offload to his game and that changes everything.

100% deadset plodder
So is Tamou and Mikaele

Tamou = Russell Packer 2.0

Just less fat

Was our only forward to make 100 metres today and also topped our tackle count. I wish we had a few more plodders who put those numbers up consistently for us.

Take the numbers away and the problem is , is that we have too many players made from the same mould

Seeya Joe.
Look on the bright side we have $600k+ of this Muppet's money to spend for 2022. What an absolute flop.....nearly Anasta-like and that is saying something.

 

[BAGNF05]

I’m very reluctant to bag players but that was diabolical today from Joey. In addition to the obvious misses/misreads I watched closely the urgency to make it back just in case, help a team mate etc. and it was non-existent all game. Cannot be in first grade next week. It will outset his brother but that is a necessary evil. Couldn’t believe Mbye wasn’t put out there after 30 mins.

100% just jogged back after each time they sliced through his zone

For a bloke that is playing for his next contract he was and is piss poor. Happy to shop him around ASAP, what a massive disappointment.
