Because some people just have to hate on someone and they usually pick the worst player/'s in the team, when Taka is the worst player in your team you are doing ok.
Great response ME and so very true. Taka has a great footy brain and is a great teammate to be around. But truth be told that even Coen Hess on one leg out paced Taka on at least 2 occasions during the semi loss to the Cowboys.
I think you guys are dead idiots - not one of you has picked up on the great positive this is for the Eels 2018.
I am not too sure how many players we have in WC teams (7 maybe?) but look at the experience the players will be getting when they basically are playing a finals type game - EVERY game.
Alvaro, Brown, Ma'u, Terepo, Taka, Jennings et al.
WC may be a waste to many of you but it is experience our players need to perform on the big stage.
Yes I hear the wailing of those who will say some of the matches won't be as hard as some club games - well you're WRONG - WRONG - WRONG.
To every team contesting the WC they are in it to win it regardless of their line up.
It is a small vociferous crowd who are hating on Taka but they are the same ones that hate on players all the time.
"So and so missed ONE tackle so lost the game for us and should be punted from the team - blah - blah - ad nauseum"
Take an objective look at the advantages people.
Yeah great experience playing Lebanon, USA and Italy. Real hard opposition there for sure Col......
Sir Col,
The flip side to this is that most players also have incentive clauses in their club contracts for playing rep football and that extra coin the club will have to pay them will fall within the salary cap as well.
Don't worry though Kidwell won't know how to use him.
