Worst performance I have ever seen from a halfback

[tigerap]

Can't believe we kept JLJ over Drinkwater as a backup half….JLJ is seriously hopeless

 

[Snake]

Another pretender ,watching these types playing in our colours is draining to say the least .

 

[Tim Sheens]

Well duh. We're coming 15th and using a second string halfback. He's not going to exactly be Andrew Johns. Who should be playing halfback then? Never hear any alternatives.

Rankin, as a good few have stated today, along with some usual haters prior to the game who did the same.

Then when Rankin has a shocker everyone lynches him and calls for JLJ. Doesn't matter who you put there, they will struggle. These guys are probably on close to minimum contracts. Its ridiculous to expect them to dominate like players earning half a million dollars. Its unrealistic. Whinging for the sake of whinging.

i cant speak of everyone, but even forgetting his "talent", it's more so his effort that's been horrible. the lack of involvement over a month of football is baffling

Even if a player is on a minimum wage he should be able to pass the ball to someone ..maybe that is to much to ask?

Well he is on minimum wage so…

 

[innsaneink]

He was pretty crook

 

[Demps]

Has he ever had a good game?
Maybe under 20s at roosters

 

[Geo]

Way 2 harsh on Jack…he was the guy a lot wanted to replace Brooks as a cheap half option..

He also put in 1 good kick...

 

[Cosimo_Zaretti]

When is Luke due back?

Two weeks ago but hammies are dicky.

 

[Club_Sandwich]

JLJ = garbage

 

[TIGER]

Time to give the game away me thinks.

JLJ. Methinks he played better under Taylor. But that's just my opinion.

He seems to have lost a lot of confidence compared to when he first filled in. Some St. George supporters sitting behind me made the observation that he seems to second guess himself. I think what they meant was that he doesn't seem to be sure what he wants to do, whether it be run, pass or kick. As well as offering virtually nothing in attack, he missed 6 tackles today. Lolohea and Rankin next week if Brooks is not available?

 

[Dingo]

Fairdinkum, Littlejohn…wow

The titles misleading, we didn't have a half back play today did we? Did we?

 

[Dingo]

And to think he was once touted as the next big thing at Manly before Cherry-Evans popped up.

I remember years ago article after article about this wiz kid with the weird robin hood name. Articles laying it on thick that he'd be the next Cooper Cronk, as it turns out he isn't even close to the Tigers woeful Johnny Cronk.

 

[Dingo]

how many chances should a guy have? not a first graders bootlace…...surely we have better alternatives

"How many chances should a guy have?"

He plays for the Tigers mate, I'm surprised he hasn't been signed up recently on a 5 year contract. A reward for getting dressed by himself.

If Brooks isn't available next week then Cleary can't play JLJ again. I'm not sure who plays instead, Rankin or someone else but it absolutely cannot be JLJ. He really weighed us down in attack today and showed he's not FG standard. He gives 100%, I'll give him that over Moses, but he really should be looking at another career.
