RANT Flegler is a lazy footballer

[Mum-the-meatloaf]

Has skill, but I think he is very lazy in defence, I think he doesn't have enough mongrel in him.

You are reactive

 

[Alec]

He and Carrigan to a smaller extent are definitely not living up to the hype they had so far unfortunately.

 

[Foordy]

that was a BS penalty against him

 

[Alec]

I disagree on Carrigan. His workload alone gives him a pass.

He gets a pass, but he's still not living up to the hype. He doesn't have anything going at the moment other than the big engine.

 

[Locky888]

Carrigan - like to see him develop an offload in his runs, usually a workhorse
Flegler - needs to develop some muscles, too much body fat

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Over half the squad are lazy, mentally weak footballers.

 

[WASSHHH]

Not as lazy as the bloke wearing the 6, that’s for sure.

 

[Scorchie]

Fleg and Carrigan are still new, need another year to develop

 

[Fernando]

The only time I notice he's out there is when he drops the ball or gives away a penalty.

20 metres gained tonight.

They are new and should have the fire in there belly as such - but no.

Bigger problems than a young, interchange forward. I’d like to know who the cancer is. Does anyone have a clue if indeed there is one or a small group? I know so,e will blame the previous coach but time to move on ..

It’s either Paul white or Alan langer

 

[Jason Simmons]

I don’t rate Carrigan as anything more than a toiler. He has no footwork, no offload, his hitups are nothing special but he does a lot, his defence isn’t anything to write home about, and he is lazy in the ruck.

Flegler runs hard, his defence is awful. He is a penalty magnet because he is clearly thicker than a whale omelette and he has hands for feet.

Obviously then, both are on massive long term contracts with us...

It’s just sad really. All these kids have stopped progressing and in many cases have started regressing. This club is breaking a number of talents. I actually wonder if it is better for them to go to other clubs not only physically but also just for the mental benefits.

Sadly i agree. I cant blame players from looking at other options. I mean get paid better and play in a better team/organisatiob. For example, stick coates in the melbourne system and he will have a reserve on the aussie jersey for a decade.

 

[Alec]

Now despite me also bashing them, I think both can still come good. Both are still in their early 20s (Fleg is 21 and Carrigan is 23) and are probably players who will peak later on in their careers. They need decent mentors though, there's no experienced front rower leading from the front who can they look up to and learn from.

When we lost Bennett we lost the pull he had to bring good players to the club. After Origin last year the players spoke about him so highly. Getting him back in whatever position would mean bringing better players to the club. I’d swap Carrigan and Flegler for Arrow and a can of coke.
