Please, please, please drop Tadhg

[Auntie.Gerald]

Smithy, Mattner, Kennelly, Grundy, LRT were all under the pump

[Big Al]

My dream would be that when Alex Johnson is fit, Kennelly should make way for him.

I dream of Jessica Alba and winning Lotto but whatever floats your boat I guess.

My biggest issue with him at the moment is the absolutely brain fades he has been having regularly all season that keep costing us goals. He still has more than something to offer the team, but if he is consistently going to be making errors that give the opposition easy goals every week, then its hard to keep him in the team. Maybe he should play a bit further up the park where errors don't necessarily equate to goals being conceded.

I have plenty of money and a hot wife, so have to dream of something

Let me simplify:

You are bothering to take the time to defend a player who is past it and has cost us goals at crucial times, 2 weeks in a row.

When there were calls on RWO to drop LRT, a valuable player who is playing well, I hope you were there to defend him.

Both are valuable to the side IMO but by your logic if I only defend one (I'm not sure if I responded to the LRT thing or not) it means I want the one not defended dropped. I think both should be in the side.

Nice

I Dont know where he's at. but i never feel comfortable when he's got the ball and he argues a lot with himself what to do next.
Has the game moved past him a bit.

[swansprincess]

I don't think Kennelly can be dropped before Grundy. He left a lot to be desired last night.

[Primmy]

Not sure what the exact problem is but his radar is waaaaay off. Handballs, kicks falling short you'd think he had just arrived back from his Gaelic footy season! Will a round in the ressies be a cure, I'm not so sure. Just let him play through it.

Normally when the radar of OOORRFF then there is a groin problem. Think Peb, even think Plugger, et al. Probably carrying something nasty around that area, and should be RESTED!!!

His last 2 weeks haven't been good (last week was @@@@ and last night was below par but not horrendous with one or two really bad errors). I don't think he needs to be dropped. Has been good up until last week this year. Deserves at least one more chance.

[BSA5]

Let's just make one thing clear.... it isn't his last 2 weeks that have been bad. It's two ERRORS in the last two weeks. A single error in each game does not make each game terrible. Defensively he is in arguably the best form of his career, and he is still providing very useful rebound. He has made two errors. TWO. Think about that for a minute. And his error last night was as much the bloke giving it to him's fault as it was Tadhgs. Definition of a hospital handpass.

Tadhg is well and truly in our best 22, and anybody thinking that a couple of errors means he should be dropped has rocks in their head.

Agree with all of this, there is a trap that some people fall for and that is actually listening to any of the free to air commentators, last night malcheski got a holding the ball decision in our forward fifty Tim Lane didn't even acknowledge the fend of from the collingwood player as opportunity, and continued to say it was a harsh free kick for 5 mins instead of talking about the game.

That's where you are wrong though. he is remembered for two critical errors. Watch both games again and you will see he has poor hand passes on at least three occasions last night and one shocking kick of about ten metres which fell two metres short. The same occurred last week - he missed targets by foot and hand but we remember the critical one not the raffish ones.

I am not in the drop him camp but I do think, as I said last week that his position needs to be looked at and he should not be seen as a certainty. And I love him - but I have concern about his decision making with the press - he is looking like someone who thinks that a loopy handball will get someone out into open space but the loopy handball is simply not working for him anymore.

Tim Lane is a joke.. It was clearly holding the ball.. We should have a drop ch10 coverage thread rather than a drop Tadgh thread.. Oops.. Ch10 have already been dropped..

[caj23]

Ridiculous call - he might be making some uncharacteristic errors but he provides alot of drive out of the backline and is the only player we have willing to carry and run through the centre of the ground
