As far as I am aware the topic has a clear title for discussion. Was the owner or the coach the discussion in this particular topic? You quoted my reply - not the original poster. Also we all like a I'm not here to defend the original poster, I'm here to give my own opinion and you thought it fit to quote me. So i responded. Nothing more or less. I never said I agreed with the original poster now, did i?

Let me correct myself: *apart from yourself* I don't know of anyone else who has their name on here

If Jordan was everything you expect, IE passing, tackling, try scoring, tackle busting loose I’m afraid he’d be in the NRL, like meatloaf once said, 2 out of 3 aint bad

Where did i say he has to be the complete package you suggest? What i’m saying is at point in his career the weaker part of his game is his offence and it’s that that need the most development. It’s not a criticism, it’s an observation and a pretty fair one i feel. Whether he gets that here is the bigger question. I would love to think so but i have my doubts.

Just reading it back It seems to me because you just said 'Don't criticise a young lad. e.t.c' you were somehow backing up NGBC silly first post, maybe I'm wrong.


You agreed with a post that I think sums him up best atm and I've said similar in the past. That he's great defensively, loads of work and heart but needs to work on his offensive game, which is no surprise given his age but he's hardly the reason to get picked out tonight like the OP has done.

I'm glad so many have posted on this thread to say how ridiculous the opening post is.
Crowther is not above criticism just because he is young and local but was in no way the reason we lost the game nor did he make the most mistakes.
He did make mistakes in the game but not many and he made a significant positive contribution.
To single him out is just someone with a little gripe against him personally no matter what he does or just trying to wind people up.
Not really worth the reply but most of the comments are constructive and positive which is good from a supporter point of view.
The last thing we need is to round on the players and coach. We can all discuss what we want on here but next game we need to be supporting them even more.

I agree it's the opening post 'again' that is woeful. I hope future scholarship parents don't read this forum.
Like all players there's improvements to be made. Jordys pre line hands are great linking in but there's other aspects of O he is working on. No arguments there. He's played about 35 SL games, he's 22. I've no issue with the constructive points about O in his game.
Players get game scores and he is always in the top bunch.

What I don't get is the improvement in attack that you expect to see? What else do you want to see from a hard running forward? Props with ball handling skills like James Graham are hard to come by. If Jordan's playing loose I'd argue that in the modern game, the role has developed to practically be an extra prop. So, where and what extra do you want from him?

Re: Crowther : Sat Jun 08, 2019 8:27 am  

His ball handling skills will only develop with more and more game time and experience, which in turn can only breed confidence.

What he doesn't need is people ripping him to shreds after hes put in yet another honest and decent shift.

Somebody posted earlier in the week,about our defence and how its dropped off. Maybe some of the other players need to take note and a leaf out of his book

I wasn't necessarily agreeing with the Original Poster but I know there are some players that you literally cannot even have an opinion on without upsetting folk so it was more of a response to the reaction I knew that would be forthcoming. I know there are people with an emotional investment towards some players on this forum but you've got to accept a forum is to air all views - not just positive ones. Players get praise and they get criticism - that is life and that is sport. You cannot expect people to sacrifice their own honesty for positivity. Or to self-censor for fear of upsetting folk. Sacred Cow literally made a fair, reasonable post and was jumped on a little hastily imo.
