Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
Can't stand Maxwell but apart from the kicking (although I think Maxwell is a neat kick) he's a better footballer then Newman IMO. They play different roles but IMO Maxwell is better defensively, reads the play better to support and despite what many supporters say is hard at it (not that Newman isn't) and has a bit of pr*ck in him.

Issue #1
When Newman is out of form all the other weaknesses in his game are amplified. And they all stem from the one bad habit - he does not run with the ball. And when he doesn't take the game on he goes all conservative. And he overcooks the ball like no other.
Issue#2
Small backs who do not carry the ball or use it immediately are a liability. It's about structure. Plays. Drive from the backline. Who is the best small back in the comp who doesn't take the game on? No such player. Rance takes the game on. And he's a tall. (BTW how did we go when Newman was out last year?)
Issue #3
It's not fair to compare Newman to Chimp as a player. Not even I would be that hard on him. As a leader by example, well, the kid's already passed him.
When it comes to taking the game on every other back we have shows Newman how to do it. Houli laps him. Morris should give him a few tips at training.
It's about time Chris got back into the swing of using the ball quickly. When you're captain you're confidence problems are your own. He's got a team to lead by example. He's gotta pull his finger out and take some risks. A lot of them.
Right now his game reeks of "fml!!! I'm sah out of form! *sob* I wish I could just pop into my onesie and eat chocolate!!!!!!" Next time he stands with the footy at HBF for half an hour I hope he gets yarn bombed. Plenty of time for that.

Ullo, Leyser. Waddup? And yes. To that question. I've lost all my phone numbers. A storm is brewing tomorrow.
And yes, Leyser. Same bloke. He's regressed. Bah-ludger.
Mr Ninety per Cent, IrockZ. Give the team everything or *smile* off you *frown*. Is he Tivendale? Nup. Tivendale played on.

Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
We noticeably missed him I thought. My opinion of him went up in his absence because I noticed the hole he left behind.
btw it's good news the screws have given you internet privileges again, good news for us, bad news for Mortons (and their like) everywhere

Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
I did av a lulz, Col.
And it's not all the screws, Colonel. It's just the one. But he's pretty so that's not gay. Thanks for the gear, BTW. It was a shame Benny had to go down so you could get through but we have to make tough decisions in our line.
And SCOOP. Yeah. I changed the chocolate bit twice. I knew it was weak. But I was really proud of onesie. And the yarnbombing.

Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
What about waiting for the short pass to get to him in the final quarter with no urgency, then no awareness of the clock at the end. Show some humility newman and acknowledge you're not up to it.

Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
He is an upgrade on a handful of players in the team but he is in our bottom 6 unfortunately.
