He has improved, it would have been hard not to, but he still is not a good first grade winger. That is why many of us still want him gone. Vidot being better and missing out is just a second reason why he should be gone. The first is that despite improving, which he has, hes still one of if not...
But people didn't want him in the team in round 1 before a ball had been kicked or a team had been named. Vidot or no vidot, hes not a good player and that's why most people didn't/dont want him in the team.
Re: Is Lachlan Maranta Really That Bad?
Defeat? Not at all.
Everything points to Bennett not liking him. No game time despite reed sucking the big one in all 3 games, maranta being maranta, and Copley being injured. Lost a huge amount of weight which shows he really put in in the offseason...
Re: Is Lachlan Maranta Really That Bad?
Ok so noone on here can discuss anything unless we were a first party in the conversations, no matter how much evidence we have to support us. gotcha.
Re: Is Lachlan Maranta Really That Bad?
And it doesn't mean it did either.
All we know for a fact is that he trained hard and lost 5kg over the offseason, then seemed to be as surprised as everyone else when he wasn't picked for round 1. Bennett has said hes using the opening rounds to see who...
Re: Is Lachlan Maranta Really That Bad?
I only missed the sharks game, and going by what people who saw it said I didn't miss much. my life is probably better for not seeing it.
from all reports he killed it in training in the off season. he lost 5kg. there were no reports of not getting on...
The reason is bennett doesnt like him and as such won't give him a chance. same with barba, same with many other players in the past.
You can't say "he used to be better but we don't know now". He was our most consistent player last year, was awesome, and we have no reason to suggest he would...
He is not and never will be anything more than the worst winger in the NRL if he keeps playing in the NRL.
He's slower than a wet week, he *never* backs himself to score or get around his man, he can't score flashy tries, he often drops sitters and screws up certain tries, and he's just...
Do people seriously think that we didn't play like that ever in the last 6 years, or that that was the best we've played since Bennett left?
I know, I know, you don't want to hear that the opposition made us look better than we were, but come on........the cowboys were atrocious. Absolutely...
Nope, was baffled when everyone was talking them up as top 4 certainties.
I thought their premiership window was 2-3 years ago, and they'd miss the 8 easily this year.
Ethan lowe could be something special though.
The gagai sacking was fair, even most griffin haters were ok with that.
Blair wasn't available, contracted for another year, yet here we are. Friend is available for next year iirc, gagai too. Contracts aren't worth shit anymore anyway, both could be here this year if the deal was right. You...
He did do something right - he signed up to be coached by Bellamy. He has then done 2 further things right - fleeced 2 teams out of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
