Lets get fair dinkum about Kosi!!!

Post: # 640881Post CURLY »

The constant critism of Kosi has become a joke, at his best he is a elite marking player and capable ruckmen. At his worst he is still better than every teams back up ruckmen and in a few cases better than there first. Look at this list of regular 22 ruckmen and tell me who is superier to Kosi.

Bryan Everitt
Blake Griffen
Cloke
Laycock
Pattison
Jamar
Seaby
Warnock
Minson
Taylor

He returns better numbers than any of those yet we speak of offloading him. He is right up there in the contested marks stats somthing most clubs would die for.

Are they earning what Kosi is earning? Yes he is better than all of those but we could probably name a heap of forwards who are better than Kosi and probably earning a lot less.

Has not Ottens played a similar role to Kosi but rotated a little more through interchange

Blake has been 1st ruck

Understand Ottens missed early part of season.

Ottens is four years older than Kosi and only last year did he truly earn his keep .

Is Koschitzke performing to the level expected of our 5th or 6th highest paid player?

No.

Is he performing to the level expected of a second ruckman and 3rd forward, and hence to the level needed to be a part of our 22?

Yes.

Luckily everthing you write about is all factual. You are such an angry old man. Wouldnt be hard to guess an approximate amount players are on. You probably still think everyone is on 3 pound a game.

so if kosi signed a new contract, for a lower salary, would that shut people up?

I would love to see Lyon play him 100 % in the backline at CHB on a Cloke/Dawes and give him a job to do...bring Allen in as an extra forward

Would free up Sam Fisher and give Max a chop out as well.

Still believe that moving him out of the backline several years ago was a big mistake and that he could have been a Glen Jajovich type Key defender :roll:

Remember Kosis contract is governed on his market value. Dont fool yourself if you think 15 other teams wouldnt love Kosi in there side.
