Quote Sebasteeno="Sebasteeno"Well considering hes failed to fire all season and only looked good and never excellent over the the two prior seasons id say the law of averages would say that Berrigan will have yet another annonomous game.
He needs dropping and fast and told to find another club back inOz. He may not want too but if hes told hes no longer wanted then im sure hed find somewhere else to go even if it meant us paying part of his wages.'"
He started the season very well and really helped guide us around the park and has definitely been excellent for us in the past, but people have short memories. While i agree with lots of the criticism of the team a lot of the things said about certain players is complete rubbish, a few poor games and then anything they've done is forgotten. He needs dropping as a wake up call, whether it will work for his current situation i don't know but something needs to happen to spark a return to form.
Form is temporary, class if permanent. If a player goes into a slump for whatever reason then something needs to be done to spark the player back if they don't look like they'll get out of it on their own.
Berrigan needs to be dropped and then actually played in the position he wants to play, not attempt to play mr fix it coming back from injury already in poor form. Especially considering our half backs take more stick then any other players. If one of our half backs has an average game and one of our centre's has a worst game the half back will take a lot of flak while the centre will usually go unnoticed or receive very little.
When we look idealess because of an injury to our 1 creative player, the people that fill them positions take all the flak for the bad performances when it isn't their game. The problem is we need more then the 1 creative player to guide the team around the park. Berrigan can do that if he can be returned to form and played at hooker. Playing him at 6 or 7 before hes even returned to form is not going to work. The whole problem is our 1 creative player being injured and their being no appropriate replacement.
