Probably because Hannant is useless too?
Can't agree with you Nashy - No he isn't Origin standard any more and he started the season slowly but he has been slowly increasing his output over the last 3 weeks and has been hitting the line with some impact and getting some good numbers under his belt in attack and defence.
That great big new Pillow we bought though... he is a totally different story - he pulls up as he hits the line, he takes a month to get up to play the ball and while he has been doing lots of work in the tackling department he is also often caught out of position and throwing his arms out trying to catch fast moving runners - hence his penchant for getting penalised for high tackles.
Whatever is going on with Hannant behind the scenes is obviously some sort of manoeuvring to make it clear to him he is not in our future plans and to move on but to drop him in favour of The Pillow is absurd. When that tool Corey Norman was clearly not in our future plans last year the idiot coach still stuck with him until way too late in the season....
To me The Pillow is a lot like Tony Williams and Jamal Idris - if he ever actually got wound up and charged into the teeth of the defence he would do some serious damage and the next time the defence might be a little more wary. Remember how Tallis used to scare the bejesus out of the opposition defence and it wasn't because he was huge - it was because he was ferocious.
The Pillow needs to get angry and get the F&%$ stuck in or he can go home.
How the hell did we end up in a position where the only decent prop we have is young Josh Maguire and as a result we have to use a wide running back-rower (Thaiday) or a lock (Parker) as a prop when we have had years since the retirement of Webcke to rebuild or props???
GEEGEE - is he in charge of that department??
