What indication did he ever give of this? You seem to be going beyond bagging him out as a player. Going off you're last couple of posts, you obviously have something personal against him

You seem to think anyone bagging out Rankin has something personal against him. Let me assure you that is not the case. The bloke is rubbish reserve grade material. Plain and simple. Nothing against him, its just he lacks talent. Not qualified for his job.
 
I feel sorry for him - he obviously has a few issues with confidence.
He's had a few replacement level games this season, but mostly has been well out of his depth.
If he's still in the side come rd 1 2017, we're in trouble.

Yeah I do, just off the frustration I have built up I just can't stand him.. As a few people said he trains hard, he's polite, put him in first grade.

The thing is the fact the positions he is listed for in his profile are as per his comments

Position: Utility, Fullback, Five-eighth

If he is calling himself a fullback and dropping balls that any other first grader could have caught..

Even JT noticed it.. Taylor had to do something but he knew he couldn't take him off..

GNR, read the comments other people have posted about his game, I don't think he got nominated for the 3 points just let me say that..

When someone says ''then he his dumber than I thought'', that isn't a criticism of him as a player. Why would you think he's dumb in the first place?

Exactly, Even his good games, people point them out because they are shocked ..

Why is he dumber than you thought? Someone has a shocker of a game and that makes them dumb?

I'm not going to argue the point.. People should not feel sorry for him.. He is of reserve grade standered and has played 19 first grade games this year..

Don't take everything so seriously
 
I thought that Rankin was one of Penrith's best players tonight …..... opposition coaches must love this guy !!!!
 
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.
 
With all due respect, some of those Cleary kicks would have tested the best fullbacks in the game, but he struggled nonetheless. We missed our first choice fullback tonight. Cost us at least 4 sets.

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.

Couldn't agree more, the bloke has had a few deadest shockers plus a stack of ordinary games and 2 good games, he is way out of his depth, like the coach who keeps picking him. :bash

I couldn't agree more. Rankin, although he tries hard, is just not first grade material. He's a reserve grader to be called upon only if the top 17 (and even a few others) are injured or on rep duties.
I'm embarrassed that this guy keeps getting selected each week for us. Him and Malone shouldn't ever be in our starting team again. Any other coach would of dropped him by now, i just can't work it out.
