I thought Reynolds played ok .

So he threw the ball to a prop - and it was an error?


He threw it to a prop *on the last tackle* and yes that is an error. He got lucky that time, he did it again late in the game and possibly cost us a try.

Gee, there must be a lot of DH's making errors. I think Grant must have made 23 errors then.


I doubt Grant will ever pass it to a prop on the last. He is a good footballer.

I think, just think mind you that you could have a set against JR.

You won't give him credit for anything.

Who did..

***BY ALL MEANS HAVE AN OPINION AND INPUT*** ...BUT LEAVE THE DEGRADING OF THESE PLAYERS OUT OF IT...some who would have liked to be in the NRL couldn't make the cut because of the hard work and talent required to be there...that includes me and I tried my arse off..so bag me if you want for not making it but have some substantial support of your own before criticising everyone else...

Why dont you get off your high horse TT? Not only are you making the ridiculous suggestion that we cant comment and discuss negative aspects of our team and players on ***public discussion forum*** but you also throw in the superiority complex stuff about "some people" who wouldnt have a clue....blah blah blah. So we can have an opinion of it aligns with yours? Or only people who are smart like you can voice an opinion? Or we can voice our opinion about plays you dont like but not players you like? Bloody ridiculous and comes across as holier than thou.

And who was ***degrading*** players? Myself and a few others commented that he had a poor game ***and gave concrete examples*** of his poor player. It wasnt that I said Reynolds is poo, I said Reynolds had a bad game because of a, b, c, d, e, x. y and z. That is valid criticism and because it was valid criticism and I gave solid examples of why I felt he had a bad game, anyone else can then make the point that "he did x because of..." and you know....have a discussion. For god sake Tigerballs rode in to defend Reynolds, suggesting that our 34points were due to him, to which I listed in great detail why that is totally incorrect.

If we are discussing facts, things that actually happened, how the hell can that be degrading players?

Appreciate your positive response Tiger5150,I don't get on my high horse or think Iam holier than holy,I completely understand that you and others are entitled to an opinion in regard to what ever subject is being debated..
Having said that,I do like JR because he is one of OUR players with a contractual agreement with the club,this was done by a previous coach and albeit JR has had injuries and has been sidelined for quite awhile he is being constantly under the criticism of people on the forum for being overpaid,its not his fault and if you were to notice which Im sure you have,when he had to play reserves he gave a 100% performance and won MOM awards...Benji has been the idol pick in FG even though some of his games have been poor,but still doesn't get regulated to reggies because he is the club idol,JR takes it in his stride and laces up in res grade..
My main point of anguish is that JR has been selected because there obviously is no one better to do the job Madge requires..for the last 2 games JR has put in albeit some errors,BUT he has not played in FG for sometime and with the new rules players have to adapt,its harder to also adapt when you are a key playmaker letting your halfback call the shots while trying to work with him which JR hasn't done,Benji has been there most of the time..
So instead of some people saying and not you in particular ship JR off or unload him,why not let the guy have a shot at doing what he is asked to do,Madge said in his presso,Josh is doing well and doing what I ask him to do..
I may appear to have sided with JR,but Im one who gives a person a chance to perform to the ability..even though he did make some mistakes,show me an NRL player who doesn't,JR will at least do his best for the team,he gets dirty on himself for stuffing up...and that's just passion for the team and club..
Maybe Benji will come back in and improve his defence and win us games,but until that happens Madge has selected JR over him...that in itself says Madge appreciates JRs hard work and positivity...

He did it twice. Second time we got tackled on the sixth with a spread backline 10m out.

No that's probably me? At a time when Maguire would expect his halves to close out the game, his $800k plus half takes an unnecessary risk and throws a pass which results in us conceding points. You would expect discipline in that scenario.

Having said that,I do like JR because he is one of OUR players with a contractual agreement with the club,this was done by a previous coach and albeit JR has had injuries and has been sidelined for quite awhile he is being constantly under the criticism of people on the forum for being overpaid,its not his fault and if you were to notice which Im sure you have,when he had to play reserves he gave a 100% performance and won MOM awards...Benji has been the idol pick in FG even though some of his games have been poor,but still doesn't get regulated to reggies because he is the club idol,JR takes it in his stride and laces up in res grade..

That is a completely fair point and I understand it and dont have a problem with it at all, but I feel you are projecting. I have never mentioned his contract money or the (indisputable) fact that he is grossly overpaid, for much the same reasons as you posted. Its done and if no one will take him off our hands, lets make the best use of him. That best use could be 6, back up 9 of 18th man which ever suit the team.

There is never any problem with Reynolds giving 100% in any game he has played (I actually think that is part of his problem). IMO the problem is he has a narrow skill set and no football brain (that is his core problem) and he has made a good career by overcompensating with effort, energy, buzz, niggle etc. It got him to SOO but it also got him dumped from SOO and ultimately the Dogs. He is sorely limited and not what we need in the spine.


My main point of anguish is that JR has been selected because there obviously is no one better to do the job Madge requires..for the last 2 games JR has put in albeit some errors,BUT he has not played in FG for sometime and with the new rules players have to adapt,its harder to also adapt when you are a key playmaker letting your halfback call the shots while trying to work with him which JR hasn't done,Benji has been there most of the time..

I have zero problem with Madge dropping Benji although I would like a better replacement than JR. Your argument that he needs time to adjust after a break, I cant agree with and echo's a lot of the excuses for Brooks over the years (Im a Brooks fan). As Ive said before, JR doesnt have a good football brain, he is like a puppy always looking for the "high energy" play that is going to LIFT the team. This has been his problem all his career and at this late stage it is not going to get better. Mistakes like passing to a prop on the last, trying for the impossible pass late in the game protecting a lead and handing an intercept, kicking on the 3rd when your side is under the pump and your forwards are sucking in seagulls, not screaming for the ball when Brooks is tackled on the 5th. These mistakes are not lack of effort errors, they are not "just need to get my timing back" errors, these are ingrained, lack of football IQ errors that he has made his whole life and will continue to make for the rest of his tenure at the Tigers.

So instead of some people saying and not you in particular ship JR off or unload him,why not let the guy have a shot at doing what he is asked to do,Madge said in his presso,Josh is doing well and doing what I ask him to do..

I may appear to have sided with JR,but Im one who gives a person a chance to perform to the ability..even though he did make some mistakes,show me an NRL player who doesn't,JR will at least do his best for the team,he gets dirty on himself for stuffing up...and that's just passion for the team and club..
Maybe Benji will come back in and improve his defence and win us games,but until that happens Madge has selected JR over him...that in itself says Madge appreciates JRs hard work and positivity...

I dont want JR in the team because in a game against better opposition than the Cowboys, when it really matters, the errors that JR made last week will be the reason we lose a game and we can not afford that from a playmaker. Im not confident that Benji is the answer as well because his defence could cost us as well although I dont really think REynolds defence was tested last week and that racing out of the line thing terrified me. But this was my problem when Benji was dropped. OK to drop him, but who for?

To me it seems a choice between JR who you can guarantee to do something stupid and unlikely to follow the game plan, or Benji who will follow the game plan, is proven to be able to close out a game, but may be a liability in defence. Not a great choice.

When Madge dropped Benji, I would have liked Walters to have been given the 6.

How about whilst you are giving credit you give me credit, I publicly praised Reynolds for his game against Canberra. He played well. Against Cowboys, he didnt. I dont understand all the butthurt here for Reynolds? Why does he need such defending?

I already told you.... He passed to a front rower and he scored. He made the decision and it worked. You say he was lucky.

When Grant did the same thing for Aloiai - I noticed you didn't say he was lucky.

That is not giving him credit in my eyes.

I don't care at this point if he played well or didn't against xyz or Cows.

There is no butthurt (as you call it) - rip him apart all you like, but give credit when it is due, which in this instance, you didn't.

I have acknowledged that he gets his TA but there is no getting away from the fact that REynolds screwed up. He passed it to a prop ***ON THE LAST TACKLE***, it was a mistake (that he repeated later), Brooks was calling for it and Garner was pointing at Douiehi and REynolds passed it to a flat footed Musgrove who had defenders in front of him so yes Reynolds was VERY LUCKY that it didnt end up with a handover like later in the match, but yes it resulted in a try thank god and he gets his TA.

When Grant set Aloiai, he ran at a retreating defence, drew a man, put Aloiai through a massive hole ***AND IT WASNT THE LAST TACKLE!!!!!*** . I give Grant credit for that because it was great play.

Another reply because you edited after I started my last response.

You want me to "give credit where credit is due", but you dont care if I say when he plays well against Canberra? I posted a couple of whole posts stating that I was wrong about my opinion of his inclusion and that he had proved my wrong and played well against Canberra....where he played well. That would be what I consider.......credit where credit is due.

He played poorly against Cowboys, but I'm supposed to give him credit? What sort of low expectations are we supposed to have?

I hope Josh makes 11 mistakes on the last that result in TRIES this week..

He passed it to a prop ***ON THE LAST TACKLE***, it was a mistake (that he repeated later), Brooks was calling for it and Garner was pointing at Douiehi and REynolds passed it to a flat footed Musgrove who had defenders in front of him so yes Reynolds was VERY LUCKY that it didnt end up with a handover like later in the match, but yes it resulted in a try thank god and he gets his TA.

When Grant set Aloiai, he ran at a retreating defence, drew a man, put Aloiai through a massive hole ***AND IT WASNT THE LAST TACKLE!!!!!*** . I give Grant credit for that because it was great play.

Ok Chief. Let's forget it.

I thought you may be a big man and admit you were wrong.

However I was wrong for thinking that.


Well big guy.....show me where Im wrong and I'm more than happy to make a correction.

Remember credit where credit is due big man.

As I said... Forget it.

You just do not understand what I am getting at. All good.

Carry on.

I hope Josh makes 11 mistakes on the last that result in TRIES this week..

Agreed.

I also hope he doesnt throw intercept passes or butcher tries on their line this week.

Lets keep count ;-)

Ooops I should have added for us..

I thought Reynolds played ok .

So he threw the ball to a prop - and it was an error?


He threw it to a prop *on the last tackle* and yes that is an error. He got lucky that time, he did it again late in the game and possibly cost us a try.

Gee, there must be a lot of DH's making errors. I think Grant must have made 23 errors then.


I doubt Grant will ever pass it to a prop on the last. He is a good footballer.

I think, just think mind you that you could have a set against JR.

You won't give him credit for anything.


I listed a long list of errors that he made. Do you dispute any of them? Which of his errors should I give him credit for?

How about whilst you are giving credit you give me credit, I publicly praised Reynolds for his game against Canberra. He played well. Against Cowboys, he didnt. I dont understand all the butthurt here for Reynolds? Why does he need such defending?

I already told you.... He passed to a front rower and he scored. He made the decision and it worked. You say he was lucky.

When Grant did the same thing for Aloiai - I noticed you didn't say he was lucky.

That is not giving him credit in my eyes.

I don't care at this point if he played well or didn't against xyz or Cows.

Its impossible to not understand what you are getting at. You want me to credit Reynolds "where credit is due". I have already credited him with the Try Assist for the first try but as I said it was clearly an error and thank god we got the try. He had a poor game. Other than the try assist, what should I be giving him credit for? Getting to the game on time?

This exchange has me stumped. All I've done is list a shopping list of JR's errors during the game and you ride in like a white knight to defend his honour. Ive said he had a good game against Canberra, rubbish against Cowboys.

This forum is a discussion forum to discuss aspects of the game and the players. If you want to have a proper discussion, it has to be in good faith. Even in this thread, TrueTiger and I had a robust exchange but on both sides it was in good faith and I think good discussion came out of it, we have different opinions but that makes the world go around. There are MANY people here I have had strong disagreements with and with exception of one person so far, I have always come out of it with respect for the other person and their point of view. This is because the discussion is in good faith on both parties.

When you pull that "I'm not talking to you and I thought you were a big man" pre-pubescent rubbish, for me all good faith is evaporated and there is zero possibility of sensible, interesting or adult discussion.

Carry on Big Man.

Well I was going to try to explain till I got to the last paragraph. So forget it.

Let's not bore people going back and forth with what has developed into pre-pubescent rubbish and terminate the conversation here.
