No one. You would get calm, positive snowman

We both know that's a lie mate lol

It's like whack-a-mole, you whack Chad and JBrails another will pop up.

Not sure what we'd do round here with a calm, positive snowy.

kinda felt sorry for Feki against the Warriors. bloke has won a premiership with some of these guys and been at the club for ages and they are no longer putting in the effort and constantly making errors

he doesn't know what else to do or what else he can do at the moment other than keep his head down and simply going doing his job like he typically tries to
he isn't making mistakes and has been really solid lately on the contrary.

I mean we know he is a nice guy and all and is leaving at end of season and hasn't always been the best winger but is he inside thinking "**** me guys, what are you doing? it's not that hard, at least have a crack?"

there was a kick put in against us at one point and after we got tackled returning the ball the ball it was played by our dummy half who looked up to make a pass and we had only one player back there to receive it - Feki. while everyone else jogged back.

it sounds like nothing - but it's the sort of simple effort and task that plenty of players in this team right now would either shirk or mess up. Feki isn't there, our dummy half gets mobbed.

he made sure he was johnny on the spot there to support his players and take the hitup

I hope things get more positive in this team as the season comes towards September

Good post Gards. I think we've all under rated the efforts of some of the less rated guys from our 2016 squad. They may not have been as good singular, but they worked well as part of a functioning team and did their job. Leutele, Feki, etc.

Thanks MB, was more an emotional post than an analytical one

Feki wouldn't carry alot of clout or pull at the club. would be kinda powerless or have no control over what is going on within the team and on the field.
can only do his bit best he can, that's why I feel for him.

it's alot of the highly paid big name ego players plebbing it up and letting us down week after week

Yeah i think we underestimated how valuable Feki, Val and Leutele were at the beginning of each set.

Yes, Leutele.

Pretty quiet fella too, would be disappointed but doesn't strike me as someone who'd be very vocal to correct anything either.

Yes, Leutele.

Feki has had up and down games this season like many of our senior players. Even when he was unreliable in other areas you could generally count on him to run it back (or take first run) with plenty of vigor, and as you say with the others helping him out too we got our sets off to good starts. Was recognised by the commentators as a big strength in 2016 and appears as a big weakness in 2019.

That catch putting his foot on the line was class, typical of him to pull it out in his last season with us.

it's beyond science that he can play so competent and reliably when he wants to yet looks like the most unnatural winger ever the rest of the time

In your head, rent free
he is back to his no nonsense stuff which is what makes him a good winger

run hard and straight and get post contact meters

poor **** could have had about 4 tries last night but wasnt to be

sticking his foot out was a brilliant play - one of his better games that went unrewarded

Feki putting his foot into touch was a good thing for once - defs knew where his sideline was on that play. was hard to believe it was him showing that sort of awareness not to mention execution

but yea i know the trend has been to hog the ball this year but what was the deal with not passing to Feki with the line open. isn't in the cool club anymore?
I think Dugan and Morris were both trying to prove a personnel point but at Feki's/teams expense.
