You can knock players and say they are not good enough. But it's the mob mentality that if we lose, someone is to blame. If that player is out we need someone else.
Waqa Blake was that for years, then Sivo, then Penisini,now Guymer.
Not saying it's all not justified, some is but it gets too much. There were games where Sivo scored 4 tries and played well and on FB comments people said "drop Sivo" as it showed we lost. They obviously didn't watch the game, just following to crowd to act like they know what they are on about.
You've said he's not a fan so why suggest him for rep honors? It was a clear knock and to treat me like an idiot to believe that you actually meant well by the suggestion.
Also, ask yourself, why is Guymer signed until 2028 yet our only decent prop going forward in Sam Tuivaiti only signed until 2027 and can negotiate in November
Guymer was off-contract first. Also, just cause we want to extend Tuivaiti earlier doesn't mean he wants to. He might want to test PNG and Perth as well. Who knows
You can say to a player "here is a new 3 year deal" he can say "I'll have a look at what's out there to try and up my value."
Doesnt matter what it is. With Laurie Daley coach we're fucked. He's the worst coach ever. 1/6 Series wins. We were massive favorites with better players than QLD last year yet he fucked that right up. We were even 1 up.

The NRL loves a good old "jobs for the boys" scenario. Same reason we have Mal with the Perth Bears. Same reason Kevin Walters has coached anything.
Daley has been amazingly bad as coach, it almost takes talent to lose with some of the teams he's had yet he's managed to do it. Madge proved that Slater isn't a great coach, he's just...not as bad as Laurie.

"Dragons will have 5 players on close to $1m next year. Gutho, Holmes, Keon, Metcalf and Drinkwater. Leilua and a couple good young forwards may get pushed out. Would be a good get for Parra. MoN needs to monitor the situation closely.

Whats wrong with picking him in the squad then? It could benefit his game. Number 21 is usually for younger players mixing with the squad.
So now you're a mind reader saying im putting Guymer down??

You are better than that.
Im bot the selector. Also, i supported him earlier when I mentioned Moses praising Guymer on the Horo podcast.
I was just saying he was limited to the number of positions he can play
Ill have to admit, in Guymers first few games and debut, he looked like a world beater
Also, ask yourself, why is Guymer signed until 2028 yet our only decent prop going forward in Sam Tuivaiti only signed until 2027 and can negotiate in November
There's something wrong there
