Unpopular opinion
We won’t win a GF while Callum Wilkie is in the side.
- Shocking defender 1 on 1 - does everything to avoid them
- Always plays the loose but isn’t an intercept and rebound player, allowing decent transition. Instead tends to sag back, slide across and spoil sideways at best meaning we get trapped deep.
- Takes too long with the ball then kicks sideways too much. Doesn’t take ground when he can. Allows opposition to pressure and set up.
- doesn’t work hard, can’t play on the big boys but too slow to break lines, skills can’t cut up opposition in the rebound. Is happy to cruise around and pick up junk kicks
- points fingers way too much

Re: Unpopular opinion
Very strange opinion
3rd tall asked to be a first tall defender
And does it very well
At stages tonight he was on Brown 202 Gawn 208 and Grundy 202
And he’s 191

Re: Unpopular opinion
Wilkie was in the AA squad wasn't he?
Generally in the conversation as one of the better defenders in the league, let alone our team.

Re: Unpopular opinion
Some people shouldn't post after an afternoon on the juice.
Wilkie is not the issue, it's some of his plodding teammates, you know, the ones with dire skills that keep us in no man's land.

The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

Re: Unpopular opinion
This. Very good player who shouldn’t be our first tall defender. Simply isn’t big enough,

Re: Unpopular opinion
Nuts.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Unpopular and also sounding like an opinion from someone who has been on the glass BBQ. But I mean, he does go

Re: Unpopular opinion
If you want to be unpopular, ask about Josh Battle and if he’s cut out to be a key defender
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Re: Unpopular opinion
Look I’m all for it… a hot take is usually pretty interesting
But like the consensus here, based on what I’ve seen, seems way off to me.

Iceman. First post in 6.5 years? You certainly came back with a beauty. Funny bones do come in all shapes and sizes.

Re: Unpopular opinion
Some people get it.
Hey maybe we should make this a sticky thread and put all the unpopular opinions in one place?

Re: Unpopular opinion
I think that you are doing a fine job of making things sticky already.
Play on.

Re: Unpopular opinion
I thought it was a great suggestion, it would give those who are sensitive to unpopular opinions the option to protect themselves by avoiding the thread.
sought of like a mini animal enclosure for the main forum.
