we all have hope, yes even me. isnt that the problem though. we continue to take players on hope rather than properly asesing them.
But the above is only your opinion and in all honesty that is your view but that doesn't make it right or factual. That's the point here
You are basically saying that the RFC footy department, whether that be the list management committee, the full time recruiters etc do not spend not one minute on assessing players. That is simply not true
The fact that they don't select the players you want doesn't mean they are wrong, nor does it mean they are not putting the time or effort into assessing. I would argue that based on the data they have, the time spent watching these players they would know a helluva lot more than you or me.
To suggest otherwise is simply ridiculous. Clearly you don't agree with their "hows" & "whys" and that's fine it is your opinion.
You are entitled to an opinion as we all are but to continually suggest that the club isn't assessing players and making decisions based on a criteria, the Club's criteria is wrong.
so wp how does banfield rate over the journey. poorly is the fact. i would not have thought it was debateable. its right there for all to see.
to date hes a forward and nothing else. there is nothing to suggest otherwise in his history at brisbane.
to date his skills for a smal have been poor. the club is happy to ram down our throat the premise that they only take good kicks as a selection priority and then regualrly do the opposite.
to finish all im asking is what criteria are they setting. it cant be based on performance, skills, or genuine needs because they have ignored them, yes i reckon im very entitled to question the processes they are going thru. if they claim to be doing due process they are imo doing something wrong.
i know they took him because he has pace geez he actually ticks a box. he may be a replacement for white to date hes a poor mans matt white and imo white had to go.
we in effect took a bloke who whos basically nothing but a 23yo 6th yr small forward whos played 53 games and the majority have been poor. this goes with poor kicking skills, did we take him for his skills nope. . he has an inability to find enough ball he goes at less than 10 possesions a game, did we take him for his ball winning ability?? nope. and for an almost exclusive forward he goes at just 1 goal a game did we take him for his goal kicking prowess ???? nope. . we did this after loading up with sml and medium sized forwards so did we take him to meet a list need????? nope.
of course they should be questioned. every single thing they do should be put under a microscope.
