Quote: Phuzzy "I really don't want to focus on negatives after a fantastic win but I really do have to take issue with this. Saints marked Field out if the game just as Salford did in the quarter final. The result was the same in both instances; a Wigan win. In Salford's case a nilling. In Saints' case a nilling until half time. They came back at us like the champion team they are but the end result was the same
To suggest he can't pass because he made a couple of questionable ones against Salford in the league game is crazy! Did you have your eyes closed the whole of the Warrington game? Or yesterday for that matter?
To question his one on one defence is also crazy after he just stopped Hurrell metres from the line in a one on one. How many people do that? And it's not like it's a rarity. He's put try savers in nearly every match! What are you watching?
Jai will not score length of the field tries every match. No player...no matter how good... does. But he is the best player to watch in Superleague by a country mile and we're lucky that it's us who get to cheer his moments of magic!
What would possess anyone to write a post like the above on a day like today completely escapes me. You must be a blast at parties!'"
Why are you taking it so personally? He isn't the perfect/final product but so what? He's a weapon for us and it works. I don't know people get SO uppity whenever anyone points his weaknesses out. The poor passes haven't just been against Salford either though have they. But it's fine cos he's not playing in the halves. If he was, then it'd be an issue. Ultimately, I believe that's where he sees himself in the long run.
I didn't mention one on one. I mentioned on the line... He often doesn't 'sweep' and follow the play and ends up out of position. I also said he's young and still learning the role.
Had I said 'I don't like him, he's sh*t, he's average' blah blah then fair enough. I think you need to chill out a bit.
