[quote="Rocknrolla69er"]Hahahahah smiggs give your head a shake, you cannot understand rugby fully if you think Shaul just because he scored had a good game.

Absolutely ridiculous statement, no wonder our players get an easy unaccountable ride when fans are so blinkered.

I'd suggest re watching the game
Watch the tries conceded
Don't look at the ball
Look at Shaul
Then maybe re evaluate your opinion[/quote
Yep I blame him for the try lolohea scored running through two forwards or the ones out wide were our wingers were 20 yards in from the wing catching tackling fresh air. You concentrate on Shaul while the rest of the team play like poop. Slow passing halves and powder puff forwards, mickey poor wingers and a bench that offered little.

Oh I'm not denying that there are plenty of others not pulling their weight and playing terrible.

But Shaul stands out for me for his lack of effort and giving a toss. Which when you watch him he doesn't even try at times were as others do. I think the kids got an attitude/application problem

Your kind of trying to defend him, which to me is ridiculous

Can you explain why he should be exempt from criticism when it's clear he's not performing or even trying at times, it's not as if it's just me that's seeing it either

No he shouldn't be exempt, but replacing him will not improve our weak pack and our rudderless halves. We have problems all over the park. He's one of many. Our marquee signing Fonua is abysmal, he's not even close to being fit. Our captain is the most one dimensional hooker in the league. I could go on but to be honest I haven't got the will. Sorry for being arsey with you but it hurts seeing us this bad.

shaul tuime where imo 2 of our players who tried in a p.iis poor performance, bowden houghton fonua should be replaced by swift johnson and bienik for next week, few more in last chance saloon

I'd rather see Brown than Bienek

No worries smig emotions are running high

I agree with you there's loads who are shirking it when the going gets tough

I will say though some do fixate on Shauls running in broken play and presume he's playing well, it's when you watch his defence responsibilities as a fullback he fails miserably. That and his creativity

Then you like at a player like Evalds. Missed a trick signing him and kruise Leeming to replace Shaul and Houghton
