    LRT still sucks

    Never been a fan. A year off did him no good at all. Time for Lewie to dominate the ACT league again. Can take Benny back with him. Together they can sho Jude the ropes.

      When they were both coming through the ranks many a folk wished we'd got Playfair instead of Lewis, now we have the riches of both! What to do, what to do.
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        completely agree. he has been lost in each match this year. cant mark. kick, spoil, crash packs, can barely tackle, hand pass

        never been a fan because he is simply occupying space

          I think he misses his mentor SOS.

          Maybe needs to see the shrink with Bevo, to find his lost confidence.

            I don't understand this part. How can somebody lose his confidence so much and yet he's a premiership player and now a professional senior player. What's the story? I just don't get it. He needs his arse kicked.

              If the shrink doesn't work, I believe this is the next stage.

                He was absolutely terrible today but I think overall this year he has done ok. But he was really bad today, however we are lacking options in the back line at the moment so its hard to see who we could replace him with. Maybe when Malceski is back there will be a reshuffle and he will be surplus. He just seems to me to be so so unco and too prone to making schoolboy errors that can really hurt you when the pressure is on.
                His development has been really strange- from imo being very close to BOG in a grand final to where he is now seems a lifetime apart, and if you didnt know otherwise you'd swear they were two different players completely.

                  He was dreadful last week but Jude's kicking etc took the heat off him. Did not see the game this week..only listened to the first half and then had to go and play hockey(I think I was lucky by the sound of things) but the impression I got from listening was that he lost his player quite a bit.

                    Fremantle are worse than LRT at the moment.

                      If he'd of taken that mark in the last 5 minutes, he probably would have gotten through the week unscathed by criticism.

                      He didn't though, and probably deserves the spotlight.

                        LRTs form is a worry.
                        Though saying he has to be dropped is not the answer just yet.
                        We need his size, simple as that to stand the big bloke down back.
                        Lets face it Will Minson did bugger all , know he got a couple though he hardly created much for them. We dont have anyone down back to cover those big forwards. Means Leo ,B2 or Teddy get more suitable matchups.
                        If Jesse White continues to improve I think he could be a chance to pressure LRT, though understand he may of got injured today.
                        Louey really has to stand up after the break and cement his spot.

                          LRT is a Centre Half-Back and not a Ruckman, he seems to get lost playing as a Ruckman.

                            I didn't see this game, but I like LRT. Always have. He looks ungainly, but he is actually a great player. He was @@@@e last week. He could well have been @@@@e this week as well, but it's WAY too early to write him off yet, given what he has shown in the past.

                              Well his hair looked nice and shiny blowing in the breeze - and that is the only good thing I can say about his performance yesterday.
                              I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................
