Hopefully he can get it together again vs the Dogs, he has been struggling of late.

I hope you're right Scollop, and you never know, maybe it is the endless comparison between he and Bontempelli that spurs JB on to play his best against the Dogs.

The Dogs on paper have a much stronger team than the Saints, they have quite a number of players that played in their 2016 premiership side so in terms of experience and recent form will be strongly favoured to win. But this season has seen many teams go up and down and I am quietly confident that they will knock off the Bulldogs, it should be a terrific game!

A massive opportunity for Jack to change perceptions that he's a downhill skier.

That’s your perception SK. Don’t create a narrative that’s not there.

Jack's biggest weakness is his lack of on field leadership. A big reason why Hanners was recruited and it's no accident we play much better when Hanners is in the side. When the opposition gets a run on against us, Jack is never the player to stand up and this has been proven many times especially this last 2 months when we only won 2 games out of 6. Jack is a well known downhill skier.

Good teams can cover players like Jack which is what we should become over the next few years and there is a place for Jack, but he aint da man to lead the chorus. As I say, let's see if he can change that perception in a final. Is he a finals player.

Your perceptions only which no one is agreeing with so give it a f****** rest. :roll:

I’m agreeing with him. I look fwd to having egg on my face

While I’m not totally agreeing with him I’m not not agreeing with him. Billings has had shocking quarters and halves this season. Hoping the week off allows him to shake off any injuries that may be responsible for this
