Gives up a stupid penalty trying to drag Robertson out, leads to Robertson's second try (don't get me started on him jogging to try beat Robertson to the ball for the grounding).
Runs across field and offloads to Mead 1m from the touchline, who promptly gets dragged out, turn over.
Gives up the most stupid of penalties trying to run over Matai to get back to marker, should have cost us a try.
Let Robertson jump in front of him and have a clean go at the ball, we were only lucky Robertson dropped it cold.
The talk that he should be signed for next season is absolute rubbish. He's just flat out not up to first grade standard defensively
Mark Minichiello ---> Team Italy
To sum it up, Prince was covering for him at times.
Poor guy had the commentators on his back and then they pan up to Carty giving him a spray. He doesnt deserve that imo.
what a stupid thread, yes he made what 2 errors in defense on the night(he should be out on the wing anyways) he also pulled off some great tackles and was a bit of handful even with bad ball service. the only problem i had with joseph tonight was from the start of the match he looke hung over and unmotivated a motivated joseph plays 100x better. its better than thompson anyhow.
What? Shouldn't be playing for a contract next season be motivation enough?
You're covering for him hard, he cost us the bloody match
Mark Minichiello ---> Team Italy
Enjoy QLD cup.... You ain't coming back to first grade
Mark Minichiello ---> Team Italy
if he cost us the match then carty would have taken him off straight away, and yes he is better than bodene at centre i have seen bodene this year been caught out more than a few times and tomane was just not feeling it tonight, you give him another 2 weeks and he'll come good, if he doesnt then cast him back, you guys act like he has been playing like prince this year.
Mark Minichiello ---> Team Italy
ok look, last year he got like 7 tries in 10 games for us and he is leading scorer for the jets so obviously this was just a bad night and he can be shifted to the wing and the lapses in defense wont ever happen because that would be impossible then. if you are gonna criticise anyone it should be prince who has not played one good game all year and is a speed bump
meh, would like to see him there again next week
This isn't a Scott Prince issue, this is a Joseph Tomane Issue.
Your missing the point, he could score a hundred tries, fact of the matter is, he cost us DIRECTLY the match by that woeful defensive read, and giving up a stupid penalty, followed by not chasing the ball hard against Roberston in goal.
Should have been 3 tries if Robertson hadn't dropped it cold over the line
Mark Minichiello ---> Team Italy
well that touch line thing wasnt even a penalty in my book if we can get dragged out a few times and nothing happens, if he goes to the wing he doesnt have to make these decisions and he will be fine, all carty has to simply say is mark your man and noone else the whole night.
