Apologies Belly, where ever you are

I meant NGBC.

Yes daft penalty that's for sure. However many others deserve to be criticised who are more senior players in the squad.

We've been nilled and your first thought was to attack Jordy. It's embarrassing. Over the years certain people have been vile about Tom, Reece and Max and you clearly continue the trend with Jordy.
He worked his nuts off tonight, forced two errors with hits and tackled his heart out. His effort, energy and enthusiasm is second to none. He gets off his line quicker than anyone. He gets his hands on the ball and links in with plays. He's not the finished article, but his progress is very good and he'll get better and better.
But keep sticking the knife in

Been really unfair on jordan there NGBC he tackles very well and runs in hard and he will only improve.if you want to slate players slate the seasoned pros on good money who aint cutting it at mo


Do agree bout dave though he has carried us this season

Crowther’s effort has to be applauded as does his defence, he is non-stop there. He does though need to develop his offensive game at this point as he doesn’t yet ask enough questions of the opposition. But that can be developed. What he needs is quality coaching and plenty of game time. Given though i hear we are trying to sign at least two players who play his positions sadly i’m not sure he’ll ever reach his potential here.

You are a proper piece of 2 X 2

Don't criticise a young lad. e.t.c

This for me is the most honest assessment I have seen.







Some people on the forum (for reasons I totally understand) have a skewed view of some of the players in the squad.

All the bloody team is useless" correct on that bit

All the bloody team is useless" ?

Constructive is fine. A bit like in education.
I could write you a list of development improvements for Max, Rocky, Jordy, Batch, Crofty, Kershaw.
Hiding behind keyboards spouting bile isnt helpful to anyone, it's coward like.

Bjb never puts a foot wrong. Don't no why he gets stick.
Remember the Sau and Pauli swap???
Said.it was.a waste of time yet again I'm correct.

If Jordan was everything you expect, IE passing, tackling, try scoring, tackle busting loose I’m afraid he’d be in the NRL, like meatloaf once said, 2 out of 3 aint bad

Who is hiding behind a keyboard? Write the list then. No one is spouting "bile". They are sounding an opinion. An opinion you don't like. If that is the case then counter that opinion. That is what a forum is for. Unless you just want an opinion that is up your street? I'm the only person on this forum with my name as my actual name. I don't have to hide.

No your not the only person

think about it

Oh sorry, there may be one other. I think you miss the said point however...

Don't even know why I'm getting sucked in as I've not even posted anything negative in this thread other than I'd say a balanced view. Which your last reply to said original poster seems to acknolwedge

The original poster does both! Many others do too about various topics and people including the coach and owner. Some are knife stabbers, others can't control the



My name's clearly displayed.

As far as I am aware the topic has a clear title for discussion. Was the owner or the coach the discussion in this particular topic? You quoted my reply - not the original poster. Also we all like a

I'm not here to defend the original poster, I'm here to give my own opinion and you thought it fit to quote me. So i responded. Nothing more or less. I never said I agreed with the original poster now, did i?

Let me correct myself: *apart from yourself* I don't know of anyone else who has their name on here

Where did i say he has to be the complete package you suggest? What i’m saying is at point in his career the weaker part of his game is his offence and it’s that that need the most development. It’s not a criticism, it’s an observation and a pretty fair one i feel. Whether he gets that here is the bigger question. I would love to think so but i have my doubts.

Just reading it back It seems to me because you just said 'Don't criticise a young lad. e.t.c' you were somehow backing up NGBC silly first post, maybe I'm wrong.


You agreed with a post that I think sums him up best atm and I've said similar in the past. That he's great defensively, loads of work and heart but needs to work on his offensive game, which is no surprise given his age but he's hardly the reason to get picked out tonight like the OP has done.

Well said Adam.

I'm glad so many have posted on this thread to say how ridiculous the opening post is.
Crowther is not above criticism just because he is young and local but was in no way the reason we lost the game nor did he make the most mistakes.
He did make mistakes in the game but not many and he made a significant positive contribution.
To single him out is just someone with a little gripe against him personally no matter what he does or just trying to wind people up.
Not really worth the reply but most of the comments are constructive and positive which is good from a supporter point of view.
The last thing we need is to round on the players and coach. We can all discuss what we want on here but next game we need to be supporting them even more.

I agree it's the opening post 'again' that is woeful. I hope future scholarship parents don't read this forum.
Like all players there's improvements to be made. Jordys pre line hands are great linking in but there's other aspects of O he is working on. No arguments there. He's played about 35 SL games, he's 22. I've no issue with the constructive points about O in his game.
Players get game scores and he is always in the top bunch.

What I don't get is the improvement in attack that you expect to see? What else do you want to see from a hard running forward? Props with ball handling skills like James Graham are hard to come by. If Jordan's playing loose I'd argue that in the modern game, the role has developed to practically be an extra prop. So, where and what extra do you want from him?
