So why give him a $1m contract though to 2029??He’s been crap but he’s never gonna do anything in a shit team

He just proved in that last 30 he has it in him! Started touching the ball multiple times a set and actually earnt his keep. What a turn around, lets hope he builds on it for next week and the rest of this season!

That play tonight where he kicked for Mariner on the 2nd tells the story of Ezra. It was the right play at the right time, and if it had paid off we would be singing his praises right now, but he clearly failed to inform Mariner that was what he was going to do, because if Mariner were awake to it, he easily has the speed to outrun the Dragon, scoop the ball and run away with it.
He also lacks a brainIMO, that's more on Mariner than Mam. Mariner should have been ready for a play like that.

Ezra is not a leader. He is not a talker in the huddle, He is not an organizer. He is a dangerous running 5/8 in the mold of Dylan Walker. Pretending that he is going to magically grow a strategic brain post-Reynolds is dooming us. We must find a halfback with a good footy brain between his ears in the next 2 years or we are SO fucked.

I do wonder if we should put the 7 on his back ... maybe just as a psychological move to get him to believe he is our number one half while Reyno is gone
I 100% think Mam should’ve been given the 7, two or three games back.
He plays the running, supporting half to some spud in the 7 who is on a 5th of his wage and then when the game is out of reach he throws that game plan out the window and becomes a dominate half for 20 minutes, trying to claw a comeback.
Just give him the 7 from the start, tell him he’s expected to touch the ball 3 times a set.
Chuck Sailor, Walters, Rogers, Cobbo, or Walsh at 6. Doesn’t really matter
1. Walsh
6. Billy
7. Ezra
9. Mozer
?
end of the day he is a young bloke who honestly wont be peaking as a 6 or 7 for a few years yet has alot to learn and apparently needs to find his voice on the field and demand when and where the ball is going that will come with experience i think,was always going to be a tough ask this year with arey only playing 6 games so far add to that walsh playing 10 and we get to where we are today imo.He has been so disappointing this year. Maybe that racism saga hurt him alot. Thought he was going to be the next big thing but obviously I have missed some of the things in his game. Seems to just float through alot of games. It was actually good to see him show some fire the last 20 of the Dragons game. He actually reminds me of Dylan Brown alot. Another guy I'm high on. Brown been around longer and played at a higher level but they have similar strengths and weaknesses in their games.
That's weird I was just thinking about Dylan Brown and how Ezra is similar, but just happened to score 3 in a GF.He has been so disappointing this year. Maybe that racism saga hurt him alot.

Dylan Brown has played for his country 8 times.... this isn't some bum.That's weird I was just thinking about Dylan Brown and how Ezra is similar, but just happened to score 3 in a GF.
They are very similar.
Didn't say he was.Dylan Brown has played for his country 8 times.... this isn't some bum.
Mam and Brown both can't operate without a proper half steering the side around. It's not really an issue tbh, Dearden and Munster (if he was in a side like a Moses or ARey-less Parra or Brisbane) are in the same boat as well.He has been so disappointing this year.

Right. I thought you implied Brown wasn't on Mams level.Didn't say he was.
Not at all. Literally just thinking about how similar they are, but how Ezra seems to be thought of as better due to the GF tries (maybe by Bronco fans).Right. I thought you implied Brown wasn't on Mams level.
