Not a good thing that a criticism of your game as a half that you don't talk enough but a half with a below average kicking game surely is right up there as not a good thing either?

Below average is putting it nice. Ive never seen a kicking game that bad from a 7 who has held his spot for so long. Never seen one who cant create a try either

Argh, so sick of this ****. Even if Robbo is talking it isn't leading to any success. We look the opposite of organised.

The way I see it flanno has three main criteria points he judges his halfback by. Which is kicking, communication and defense. In flannos eyes he has robbo killing Murphy in 2 of those areas


Make of that what you will

Couldn't we mount speakers in his headgear and get one of the fans to do the talking remotely?

We could have a comp every week to see whose turn it is on the microphone.

Well it would only take each of us 5mins to read the playbook from what I have seen.

They could put a deaf, blind mute in there for all I care
As long as it is not Robbo

Make Robbo the water boy and he can talk all he wants, Alfie Langer style. Sure the boys will be dehydrated as all **** with ear bleeds but if it means a half back is on the field so be it.

anyone got a stats comparison between Murphy in NSW cup and Robbo in NRL for this year so far?
I haven't seen the stats this year, I don't think nswrl have posted them like last year. But they are compiled by Prozone I think, and Flanno would definitely have access to the stats.

Just from the Rd 1-9 highlights on youtube, Todd Murphy had 4 tries, 2 line breaks, 5 try assists, 2 line break assists (Had heavy involvement a few other plays but he wouldn't be given stats for). Those highlights are from the nswrl website, some of the video from tries are likely missing so he'd likely have more for those rounds and would have more since. He might have also missed a game or two in the rd 1-9 period.

Robbo has 12 games, 1 try, 1 line break, 3 try assists, 1 line break assist. He got his first line break assist for the season (and first try assist since rd 5) last week on that bouncing ball which he passed to Lewis. Basically all of his stats are pathetic except his defensive stats which are solid for a half. Pathetic is probably an understatement. He is genuinely abysmal as a first grade half.
