Shane Tuck [merged]

Don't get yourself all confused with semantics, just watch the games.

Pfft. I watched the games, including the ones we lost when Tuck played so your 'facts' are nothing but opinion.
Yes he can win some ball but I also watch Tuck endlessly make poor decisions by hand and foot, fail to help his team mates out and let his opponent run riot. Maybe it's you who should open your eyes.

I'd rather we have given his games to younger players for the whole year.
I agreed with the call not to play him early but it was a ridiculous call from the club to then play him when the season was lost.
Not to mention now offering him a new contract. It's an entirely pointless waste of time.

I know what I saw, I saw Tuck winning ball and I saw him kick goals, I saw us improve with him in the side and no amount of sarcasm will change it, the 'facts' are in the stats, on the video replays and in the win loss column.  As for opinions, they are like assholes, everyone has one, sometimes you don't like hearing it, but you vented yours and I felt you had followed through so I just aired some fresh flowers for ya.

10 THINGS I LIKE

5. Shane Tuck
Have to acknowledge Shaun Grigg who probably played his best game for the Tigers after being shipped from the Blues. He had 37, 10 score involvements, six clearances and two tackles. Tuck, however, had 30 touches, 11 score involvements, 11 tackles and 12 clearances. They are phenomenal numbers. Tuck can be criticised for decision-making and, a couple of years ago, for his defensive awareness, but he has improved in those areas. He went at 80 per cent efficiency, too.

Yep just goes at it 100% every game, just like his old man, gets the job done, no fanfare, no exploits, great clubman!!!

[Ox]

I'd go as far saying if where to captain the club for one game we would see his best.

At this point the skipper looks closer to retirement than Tucky.

Everyone get there, Tucky has done everything & more to keep playing for the RFC. could easily be at another club but stayed & proved he is very valuable to the RFC midfield protecting the others. Best on Ground yesterday.
