Rankin

[fergiefurr]

To be fair, Rankin had an absolute shocker. Every player has one and tonight was his turn. He will never play this bad again.

I hope he lifts from here and it makes him a better player and person. Some of them recover. Some never do. Nights like tonight can smash a bloke to pieces forever. Its horrible to watch.

He's had plenty of shockers. I don't understand what anyone sees in this player. Lacklustre in attack and terrible in defence. Does not even know his own best position. Even his 'good' games (there a very few of them mind you) are only 'good' because he doesn't do anything which directly contributes to the opposition scoring.

Rugby League is a game of momentum. Jordan Rankin is a player who often gifts the opposition big momentum. We cannot have him playing first grade in 2017 if we want to make some noise. He is a big problem.

Agree 100%

All the times we've said 'rankin played well' have generally been because he wasn't completely diabolical and cost us a heap of points. Look I'm sure he's the first to training, is a great bloke and tries his butt out but the guy isn't and had never been a first grade NRL player.

I can think of countless times he has cost us.

* against parra on Easter he gets a ball 5m with no one within a mile of him and falls over. Gordon comes and covers him

* against the dogs we've scored to take the lead and have all the momentum, Simona makes a break, kicks infield, rankin couldn't get a better bounce and he drops it cold. Dogs score next set and win

* the diabolical drops tonight which lead to 3 tries against us. Essentially if teddy or any semi non terrible fullback plays we conceded 18 less points.

The guy is terrible, like so so bad. I would take Hasan Saleh or Mark O'Halloran over him. Seriously

The saddest part of it all…...is that this guy is a full-time Professional player and gets paid for going to training and staying back with JT kicking goals :laughing:

Not his fault I suppose, blame the clueless begger.

He has to be dropped next week. Bring in Hunt. Heck, even a mannequin with a Tigers jersey could do better. He's cooked. Done. Don't let the door hit you on the way out

 

[Club_Sandwich]

some on here should really have a good think before they make foolish statements…...

Yep, you should, because if you are defending Rankin and saying he is NRL standard then you haven't got a bloody clue

What made me laugh tonight was during the warm up , SuperCoach Taylor was out on the field wearing his cheap suit giving his pet shop boy Rankin some pointers :laughing:

Oh the joy you must feel…

Well of course I did…Penrith should have won..very disappointed in the Wests Tigers performance...especially the forward pack...stark contrast to the team that thumped the Cowboys...

Glad to see you are revelling in it ...

I know it's hard for some , especially the JT fan boys ( yourself included ) but sometimes you've just got to laugh !

The hot dogs were great tonight !!
Shame the boys played like soggy battered Savs !

It's not about laughing..

Dont forget the Knights and the flying ball excuse .

The part you left out of the post was,after Jordan's last couple of games people were saying how well he has played and has been a good buy for his utility value…
And I do have a clue,I refuse to bag out an individual for a bad performance when others were just as bad....
