Re: Raph Clarke?
Just maybe they play in different positions and are different players. By the way I have a feeling Raph would be as kwik as Gwilt what ever that word means.kendall wrote:Now im new to Saintsational, but am a life long fanatic.

You will be very surprised how quick Raph is. He lopes - but he covers a lot of ground when he does!

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

clarke reads the play better, is a better mark, runs the lines and has performed in finals. Jimmy drifts in and out of games and cannot read the play.

Haha joffaboy, are you Raph's personal internet-protector?
I'm sure he signed an autograph or allowed you to get in a photo with him or something a while back but, and I hate to break your heart like this... I reckon you may have got the wrong impression about the whole thing.
He probably doesn't remember you. Move on.

Take it easy guys, we all live and breath this team, and want the best for each of them.
It should be no revelation that coaches have favourites for one reason or another.
I you continualy see someone struggling with the pace of the game, its natural to ask questions.
Its my opinion, and i would be pretty sure im not the only one on earth.

Ross Lyon wouldn't be playing him if he was as you say - his style doesn't look speedy but R Clarke has earned his spot and should be supported by our 'supporters'.kendall wrote:Take it easy guys, we all live and breath this team, and want the best for each of them.

I doubt if there are any protected species in this team - sure, Raph has had some bad days and made some bad decisions but he is not Robinson Crusoe.
Hi Kendall. You've certainly chosen a contentious topic for your first post! I'm assuming you are new to SS full stop, not just new to posting? Otherwise you would be aware that the Raph issue is ongoing and divisive.
Many on here have very strong views on Raph, one way or the other.
Most of us simply prefer not to see our boys singled out and bagged undeservedly (again, some will say this is the case with Raph, others not).
Personally I have questioned Raph's selection during the season, but I've been happy to accept that the potential was there. And I think he is living up to that now. He has played some good games recently. I expect that he will continue to improve......providing that his confidence is not eroded by being made our scapegoat by those of us who should be supporting him.
Anyway, welcome to SS. Enjoy.

There would be no one happier than me to see him with the Norm Smith.
Until then i guess its a no go zone for this Sainter

kendall, welcome to the forum. Now I respect that is just your opinion which you are more than entitled to share on this forum - after all, that is the point of internet fora.
However, I too have an opinion on this issue and like yours, it is fairly contentious.
I believe that Raph Clarke is in the team for a reason and anyone who doesn't understand why the coach picks him ahead of other players should just give it a rest.
But again, that's just my opinion.

Directed to Joffa boy buddy, how do you know he is a troll, he asked why does Ross Lyon pick Raph over Gwilt etc, i dont think that is being a troll. Some of you need to get there head out of there ass and stop thinking you own this site.stinger wrote:you can join him..if you think it is okay for a f****** troll to come on here and bag raph....clarky449 wrote:You have no right to tell this poster to piss off and die, you are not more important and if they want to come on here well it is up to them.
