Not saying Grant isn't a good fullback - just think Hoffman and a few other of our players don't get enough credit
Says a lot that Geria Risdon Grant are talked about as possible NT players.
Fullback to me is a specialist position
Football coaches in this country treat it more as an after thought.
How many blokes get dumped into Left or right back by coaches trying to plug after ****ing hole.
Razzler, Dpuzzle, Tarekat, Cowburn Hoffman etc Just at our club alone
Even have the ridiculous scenario where we don't sign after looking left back for a year or two
Problem is Hoffman is technically limited so his passing accuracy is atrocious and he gives the ball away far too much.....Quote:

Grant kills him in successful dribbles - 13 to 3. I would argue that with the exception of last night's match, Hoffman hadn't been instructed to overlap Hoole. (And even when he did do it last night, the option was largely ignored.)
*** DISCLAIMER ***
I've just noticed that Hoffman's stats aren't including any accrued last night. May alter the stats slightly
OK... But it does NOT look like it when watching these 2 play! But if that's what stats says then fair enough and we'll prob sign him for another 2 years...Quote:

Still, if the club took some ideas from here and acted we'd be higher up the table, full on decent managers in here.
Grant is the most overrated player in the league.
The praise he is getting at the moment is mind-boggling. He should be nowhere near a Socceroos shirt, and I trust Ange to not get carried away by what the "experts" on Fox Sports think.
That more of a sad indictment of the staff employed by the club in the last 10 years.Quote:

Yeah because his record for Wanderers is so great! Mark Bridge scores more goals than that hopeless, tattoo-faced wank!Quote:

That's the point ....it's not working for him at WSW but could well work here for us...Players not performing for one club move on and kill it for club they join not unheard of....
I would argue Finkler isQuote:

Rhyan Grant isn't over rated. He is arguably the most improved player in the HAL
He actually is the poster boy for the shit ****s in our squad who should have knuckled down and made a success out of the opportunities they have had like Kanta BK Hoffman etc
If they only showed the application Grant has to make the most of their abilities and opportunities
He's certainly the laziest. Plenty of technical skill but runs like an old man and has absolutely zero heart when it comes to contesting the ball.Quote:

He be just like Zads.
Not the most gifted but gave his all game in game out
Nope.Quote:

He is garbage. To say fans would love him if she was ours just shows how low the standards are for Jets fans to get excited about anything.
Haha good point, sign him up!Quote:

You don't need playmakers all over the park.
For a wide back or holding midfielder he does the job.
I think Katroumbis has shown enough for an 18 year old to earn a contract. Has more ability then a lot of players years older then him with a lot more 'experience'
Definitely.Quote:

Both Mullen and Jackson are off contract however. I would resign Jackson and Koutroumbis, and let Mullen walk IMO. Just not worth the money
for some reason I thought Johnny K was here on loan from Adelaide. not sure why I think that, but anybody know if correct?
No, it's an injury replacement contract.Quote:
