Jakob Arthur

We won't win a game he starts rest of the season . 

Hes 2 years off the pace and physically of 1st grade . He made the same poor defensive reads in Cup and has no chance of succeeding here.

I don't say this to bag him, picking him again is bad for his development.

  • 100% agree. His sliding is so bad, matto was trying to slide to, but Arthur wouldn't. It left blake look worse than he was.

  • Joey said that hey had the worst game of his career in the second game. 
    They scored all their points down the Blake / Fergo corridor. 
    If BA plays them together again next week , it will be absolutely circus time for the souths boys ! 

    • Yep 

    • Chiefy, 18 year olds are very difficult to pick pace wise,as they go in and out of growth spurts..... he could be very different in a year or two's time or you could be right Chiefy....BUT I have seen it with kids at this age and they can change speed wise very quickly. Must admit he looked tired and overawed today.

  • He can't read the opposition attack. 

    In fairness it was his 2nd game and no one expects him to be perfect . He doesn't have the size to tackle 1 on 1 that's fair . He's going to come up with costly misses , also taken into consideration.

    But plugging him straight into the Dylan Brown role in the system shows again how limited his dad is as a coach. Manly were toying with him , absolutely consuming him with their shape . The scary thing about BA's coaching is you knew that was where we were going to be attacked and BA had no answers .

     

    If he plays him next week Souths left edge will put 50 on us . 

    • I 100% agree. Even when the ball goes past him, he has no pace to cover. 

  • I would put Carty in there against south and when DB is back make sure Cartwright knows he is a forward

  • That's why I was critical of his selection in the first place. If he wasn't BAs son, no chance he gets picked. So many better options than an untried youngster that still needs to grow into his slight frame.

    But you can bet your bottoms dollar he plays again next week.

    • I think Rankin will come in next week. I wouldn't move Carty there. 

  • Why pick on a kid in his 2nd game ? Why not ask why Moses is so predictable and clueless inside the opposition 20 when he is up against a good or Top side ?  Parra had enough possession , penalities , 6 agains and tackles inside the opposition 20 but he did nothing .
