That is the biggest load of twaddle I have ever heard sancom.

There really needs to be another poll option for the chronically indecisive.... which sort of describes LRT's playing style doesn't it?

The problem for me is the weakness of the Canberra league. It could be argued the only place he will develop is in the seniors.

So stick with him until Saddo & Schauble are both up to speed.

Yes, He sucks. But he is our No.1 CHB. Move on.

Interesting poll, pretty much evenly divided. How poetic that the group's indecisiveness matches that of LRT himself!

FWIW, I'm on the "keep him" side of the fence, at least for a few more weeks. Continue to play him as starting CHB each week for a number of weeks and see if he improves.

After all, this week was probably the first week he's actually started at CHB. I believe it will do him good if he has a set role, instead of being moved around the ground into the ruck to fill gaps. It will help now that we have at least Jolly coming back in, and maybe Ball as well.

No.

[Chiasmus]

hahaha.. no!

But he is a definate liability for the team. I don't blame him for all of our shortfalls, but i'd say around 2/3 of the time that LRT gets the ball there is some huge mistake that just makes me slap my forehead and go "duuuuhhhh".
Even the commentators said, after that RIDICULOUS bumble he made ("duuuh.. whoopsie forgot to actually kick the ball with my foot when i dropped it towards my feet").. i can't remember the commentator, but he said "That would have to be the worst piece of football i've seen in a long time" - to which the other guy went on about how he tried to make up for it in effort and what a great effort he made. NOTE: effort to make up for blunder would be uneccessary if LRT had some ounce of talent in the first place and actually managed to kick the ball to a teammate.

The blow by blow analysis of his game, see below, makes a nonsense of your statement quite clear.

That is perhaps because your thinking on LRT is very Homer-esque.

"Match ups change as the Don's fiddle with forward line and Saddo goes on the ball, Goodes takes Lucas, loses touch and Lucas outmarks him."

Should be:

"Lucas runs off LRT. LRT seen picking daisies, hello trees hello sky chiz chiz chiz"

Was LRT in "The Club"?

Could people stick to bagging LRT on this thread and not infect other threads that have no relevance to him.

He managed to get bagged in the thread on captaincy ffs.
Talk about obsession.

[Sanecow]
