Without being argumentative do you think he actually got us there or was in the teams that went there?
For me Tyrone is up there with Royyyyy!!! as our recent, poorest, overseas headline signings and on reflection probably a bigger disappointment as he might have had something to offer, but was fed up from Day 1 and didn't look like he wanted to be here that he rarely contributed.
Drinkwater might be limited but he doesn't seem to be a sulker even when he lost his place to Hayes.
And that is my point , and has been when this comes up every few years, people disliked him from the off, from his attitude and his comments when he reluctantly signed.
But we got to 2 finals that year, who got us there?
7 Roberts? As already discussed
6 Brown? Past his best/not good enough, and wasn't a very popular signing at the time.
1 Ratchford? Again another that has been dismissed as not good enough.
So, who got us to two finals that year?
It's OK to dislike someone based on how they are and still accept they've contributed to the side.
People have been complaining about drinkwater's kicking game again since the kr game. Kr swarmed us from start to finish rhat game, we didn't make any yardage, we were kicking off the back foot under pressure.
If you look at the entire league, I'd say drinkwaters long kicking fame is equal to about 90% of other teams, the only exceptions I'd give is sneyd(though you saw last week even he has off weeks when he's shut down and useless) and it seems mikey Lewis,
