GET SOME OUTSIDE BACKS

Say it every week . You can't compete in this comp with such an inept backline .We can hang in for as long as we can until the dam breaks but there is NO quality in the backline aside from Fox .

Will Penisni is the worst player in the comp and Russell isn't far behind him. No class , no speed , no athleticism , no centre skills , no ability to compete in the air , bad reads , missed tackles , concentration lapses , slacks off on the 1%ers , poor kick chase , can't beat a man 1 on 1, can't hit a hole. Worst centre pairing I've seen in my time watching the game . Wahs outside backs superiority once again won them the game.

  • We did ...Brian Kelly!

  • 💯 I read your blog re centres during the week and you're absolutely right. Both are slow, have no speed, no step, miss tackles and drop ball. Samrani and Nanva will surely come in next week

    • It's embarrassing . Will is getting worse by the week . Just so many problems in his game he can't compete at this level . The club need to recognise this . Whether it's his ability , the speed of the game or both (likely ) he just doesn't have it . He loses almost every contest he's involved in . A player can pick up a lose ball flat footed like RTS did tonight and still other people have to come across to help Will clean up the tackle and it means we're stretched. I'm fucked if we ever pick him again it's over for Will we are completely wasting our time and the efforts of others on the field. 

  • Penisni no skill no speed no fitness .Good guy but very average player 

  • With Mark O'Neil at the helm, oh man we're gonna buy another been outside back.

  • I heard o'neill and Sarantinos are in talks with Gutherson to make a comeback 

  • I find it astounding that parra are the only team in the comp who have zero quality outside backs. 

  • Seriously the fans have got to put some pressure on the board to improve the recruitment and sack the R&R

  • Russell has comeback drunk. 

    • Russell is garbage . His ceiling is competent .  He's that limited as a player it's not funny . Whoever is in charge of talent identification of outside backs is wildly out of touch with the requirements of the modern game .
