Not been his best night, has it? Has looked very hesitant.


I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Well tonight he has had no skill. Dreadful use of the ball and poor decision making like most of his team mates.

In all our thumpings he has been unsighted.

Watching Heeney in comparison tonight, well it clearly shows how much of a soft, outside player Billings is. Physically he still has a kid's body. Lacks hardness and gets brushed off the ball too easy on the few occasions he tries to win a contested ball. Patrick Cripps is miles ahead of him too from 2013 draft.

Not saying it was his best game, but 23 possessions at 73% and a goal from a forward flanker in a team that has been flogged. Some serious boof heads on here who need to delete their accounts

Ned Stark. Keep your opinions to the issue, not the posters. <edit by mods>

Sorry mods, but just get annoyed with the keyboard warriors calling players "soft". Billings was ok tonight. Statistically above average. 5 score involvements. He did nothing that could be described as being soft. Hardly the reason we lost. The same people who dubbed Goddard "Brenda" because they were so short sighted and impatient start these silly threads. Get a grip.

A " clot"? Seriously...You need to get a life. Pounding out abusive rubbish about a 21year old kid (Billings) on an Internet forum. How old are you?

All the talk of physicality is not about the muscles. It's all between the ears with this guy. I've said it before and I'll say it again...Needs a regular root

don't think he has a schoolboy body but he's soft and extremely slow. Worst of all, he's got pretty bad hands below the knees, can never pickup the f****** ball from the ground cleanly. Struggles with set shots as well though he nailed one. Wasn't zach merret from the same draft?

I actually thought Billings was pretty good tonight, there were a lot worse than him out there tonight.

The facts say he can pick the ball up off the ground cleanly.

This is the first thread I perused after watching that shambles.

Any chance some people might consider the real problem?

That would be pleasing.

I thought Billings. Did some research and he did get the ball, but like most of our side was not damaging with it. Got plenty of it once it was over
