Oh, you might laugh now Matrix, but when Ray, Cripps, Ledger head West, Roo returns to the Gold Coast, Gilbert to NSW, Fisher and Stanley to SA, Raph to NT, plus James Gwilt to Papua New Guinea and Tommy Walsh to Eire, we'll be absolutely stuffed!!! It's gonna happen, you know it makes sense. :wink:

I can vouch that you are not an overnighter when it comes to writing CJ off Skeptic, but thought, since you'd been watching him you might have noticed how valuable he's been to us the last few years.
Don't get me wrong...

I in no way dispute that the guy is arguably the hardest working player on our list.
Got the absolute most out of him self... a great example of hard work and determination, perseverence etc etc great example

the guy is a champion in that sense


I just don't think he's that good
You watch him when he has good games and u see him destroy his opponent and provide run the other way and you think what a gun...
but then you watch him the rest of the time and he turns th ball over regularly, slows play down, not as effective on his opponent and you just get the sense that if we could get another player whose disposal was a bit better we'd have such an asset

He's not an elite player. He's a GOP that plays a few really good games a year and a lot of average ones.

I don't mean to make it sound personal but great teams don't have players with such overt weaknesses in them

in the early half of 2010... he was playing consistently great footy and I actually thought he was about to take the next step...
for mine he never took it... ppl remember the good with him but ignore the bad that happens just as often

No one thinks he is elite. But, that doesn't mean he isn't clearly entrenched in the 22. Unfortunately no team in the competition has 22 elite players. All teams have good players who just aren't in that top echleon, but still vital to the side. CJ is one of those.
