Raph Must Be Dropped!!!

Post: # 920356Post footynut »

It is simple he has once again demonstrated that he is simply not good enough!

Numerous people have mentioned it before and have always thought that he has a lot of potential. However enough is enough, ash he does not learn!

I'm not going to argue that. It's a fair call.

If he is the only player he must be good. Is he worth 50 points?

....add Dawson to this thread also. He is so lost out there he would be lucky to make the Tigers backline.

If you're basing it on ths game, then Raph, Zac, Geary, Kosi, Dal, King and perhaps Jones, Gwilt and Gilbert should all be dropped.

Can someone remind me of how the Zebras went on the weekend?

Raff wont get droped everyone knows that if he didnt get droped after the way he played last season (grand final included) then he never will.

we really miss Maquire right now could have played forward or back we did say not to delist him in case of such a situation!!!!!!!!

Clarke's effort just now from a Dal Santo pass is the 50 millionth example of why this bloke will NEVER be a quality player. PATHETIC!
Cost the team another goal. :evil:

Raph's had a rotten game, but that was a poor pass by Dal.

About 7 players need to be dropped.

But sadly, we have absolutely no depth and dropping players won't solve anything because we can only bring in equally bad players with equal lack of ability/enthusiasm.

He turned it over way too easy meher baba. That's what's so pathetic.

Come on. You know that if Raph is involved it has to be his fault.

He should never have played in the GF. I said this last year, and a pack of yobs on this site abused me.
The GF prooved me right again, and then every game he has played this year.
He is a protected species for some reason.
Nice guy and all, but wake up Saints!

Don't think X plays for anyone very often: he's been injured one way or another for the best part of 2 1/2 years.

Kapow! +1

Dawson is frustrating the hell out of me!! He's totally lost! His "brilliance" at times gets dragged back into the darkness by some of the complete f'ups he makes!


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

How bizarre, only 9 months ago we were revelling in how much depth this club had.
