Thought it was a poor effort from the big guy tonight. Just not the conditions for him.

Dunno how he will be able to look at himself after that….

he stayed on for a few more minutes than he should the big dog.
the interchange came at the right time
gave a silly penalty; however, jake Trbojevic had a similar one a few minutes later not penalised. inconsistent.

Just my opinion, mate. Felt he had more impact previous weeks.

His knees are shot. I love this guy but he can’t give anymore …

yeah
he is outrightly highlighted by refs.
As soon as he hits and sticks, then hits the ground with the opposition player, you can hear Gerard Sutton say "Andrew get off"
straight away.
there are other players in other teams too - refs just get stuck into them around the ruck
James Graham said on NRL 360 the other night that the refs talk, and they get told about certain players and their habits and focus on them
just the way it is. I thought a few games back Andrew has been good in 2022 around the ruck.

Still gives away dumb penalties. If he kept his hands off the ball in the ruck and didn't flop he might lose some of that attention

Yeh he gave away a blatant hold down penalty in the second half. I was screaming at him through the TV the second he made the tackle to get off.

Was also I really bad miss on one of their tries, really lazy effort for someone not playing many minutes.

It was there 2nd try - blatent miss.
And this was followed by shirt pulling attempts.
Sorry to say that whilst he was premiership hero in 2016, hes sadly become a liability on the field now for us.
Would be happy to see him given an off field role moving forward because of his passion etc, but he should be the first forward dropped when Finucane comes back
His stats where ok but stats don’t show his lack of dominance in the ruck, we lost all momentum a few times on the back of slow play the balls along with those old school slow post contract meters.
Has dropped in quality each week for the past 3-4 weeks.
I’d be picking and choosing when he plays, rotate him in and out with Hunt, Hazelton and JC.
If it was the grand final next week I can’t see us winning with a middle rotation of more than 1 out of 4 of Williams, Hunt, Fifita, Tolman. More than 1 is a worry.
