Quote: DISA "Absolutely agree. The guy has been pish poor this season, and if we had the backup he should not be in the team.

It is quite obvious that Senior is the reason he has looked so good for a couple of seasons.

We can now see why a player with such a fantastic scoring ratio in the NRL never came close to state of origin or why other NRL clubs were not queing up for his signature.

This is not knee jerk, because its been the same for all game this season. He has the heart of a pea. Rarely chases balls, and looks uncomforble under high balls himself.

That said, I thought he had his best game of season yesterday (which is not much). If it takes moving him outside Senior again to get his previous two seasons form back, then that is what should happen quickly.'"
You writing Donald off now?

Lets put in another way Gareth. When you wrote Smith off at the same stage last season, Smith's performances were head and shoulders above anything Donald has done this season.

I don't think even you would deny that. icon_wink.gif

Quote: The JokerĀ® "Full Back Brent Webb
Left Wing Scott Donald
Left Centre Keith Senior
Right Centre Lee Smith
Right Wing Ryan Hall

This is how i hope we will Line Up from now on with Kallum Watkins on the Interchange bench, Ashley Gibson for me just isn't good enough, Physically he isn't strong enough to break through a defence (Senior) and he doesn't have a good turn off pace or the ability to step through and creat something out of nothing (Watkins)...'"


Is Lee Smith naturally good at everything? If you groundman got taken ill could he fill in and do a job there

That's actually his position this year hence the no3 squad number H-T-H.

I have written Donald off as a right winger, he's just not comfortable there. Yes he is lacking Keith's service but there's more to it then that. He is exactly the same player he was in '06 when frankly he was fairly rubbish. Can anyone point out a game to me in which Donald played anything above decent, when playing on the right?

Quote: G1 "Does anyone really think the performance of our right centre had any bearing whatsoever on our inept display today?

I mean, really?'"


The majority of problems yesterday came down our left where Burrow was horribly exposed against Gidley. Gibson created two chances for Donald which without having watched the game again I would have expected him to have scored at least one.

Then you do Gilmore's cover defence a dis-service in that case.

I'm not, I would just expect that when given two chances like he had yesterday, a finsher of Donald's quality should have scored at least one.

I wonder if any of the Senior knockers have changed their opinion now that Donald's form is suffering without Senior?

I have. Already stated it twice in last week.

I think the Donald situation, IMO, is proving that Senior is undervalued as a player in the team.

I thought Senior was finished, but this season not only does he look very good, but the Donald situation underlines the point.

I don't know what else Donald could have done with the first it was simply matched by a great cover tackle.

You'll have to remind me of the other opportunity Donald missed because I think I must have missed it as well.

When did I write Smith off, this season or last?

I think he is talking about the dropped ball before the other one.

I have stated my opinion on Donald on this seasons form, but I dont think on either of the two chances mentioned he could have done any better.

Quote: G1 "Why do you keep making things up?

When did I write Smith off, this season or last?'"


Give over Gareth, you know what I am talking about. You only reitterated your point in the last three weeks, with arguments with both myself and Tvoc, on the same subject.

Yes, I was talking about last, hence why I said "at the same stage last season".
