I've given up trying to make sense of plenty of Slaters decisions.

Me too. But at this point, they have nearly always worked, so as hard as it is, I have to push my bias deep down and back Slater's calls.

Even Trent. Maybe for that role Slater doesn't need a superstar there and hope they play a 9 out of 10 game and don't make errors. He just needs a solid dependable 7 or 8 out of 10, as a platform for the others to do their thing.

He's been coaching against Freddy Fittler and Laurie Daley.

The one time he went up against an actual coach ... He lost 😉

You might want to sit down for this. We get most of our tries when he’s on the field because he’s on the field more than any other hooker. His involvement in those plays are minimal. Even Andrew McCullough has a highlight reel or two. Paix just slowly shuffles it on.

You might want to be less of a sarcastic ass for this but...

We let in more tries when he is off the field too.

So, net try differential is negative when he is off the field.

Once again, has absolutely nothing to do with him and everything to do with us fading at the end of games. Are you watching the games or just looking at irrelevant stats?

Because he's always on the ****ing field!!

Our attack is 12th this year... attributing it to Paix is not a flex

So you are attributing our bad attack to Paix alone? Get the **** outta here with that logic. There are another 3 spine players that are attributing lower numbers than their average than Paix.

First was an Ezra problem, now it is a Paix problem? We have never used Paix to attack either.

I am not attributing it to Paix? I am literally saying that we have done WORSE, this year alone, when Paix is off the field. Considering he has the ball at least once in every ****ing set. And everyone's solution is to boot Paix, for a clear lacking in the attacking structure that we have implemented as a WHOLE throughout the spine.

You have to be a genuine meme. That is what I literally have been saying. I never said we aren't fading at the end of game, because I 100% agree with that. I am just saying Paix alone is the ****ing problem.

What? You tried to claim that Paix is on the field when we score the most tries and we concede the most tries when he’s off, implying that he had any involvement. Your inability to formulate your point isn’t my problem. I’m just replying to the words you typed.

And yes, the play starts with the hooker and his service is so poor that it makes it difficult to get on the front foot. It’s mostly his fault that we are stuck down our end all night.

True.
 
For every weird choice there are choices that seemingly work out well, like Jojo, Plath and Walker.
