Lance : Thu Jun 13, 2013 6:30 pm  

Lance is sounding a bit miffed in this article, and I sense that he isn't altogether happy with brown. Maybe time for him to move on. Hohaia said: “Playing the role I have this year has been a little frustrating at times. I have had a couple of injuries, too. “Last year I was able to get a lot of games and stay in one position and that really helped my game. “This year has been different and I have had a few different niggles to deal with. “The injuries overall have changed the dynamic of the team as well. Having a new coach, and having those other things, we have been trying to figure out what suits the team best. “We are slowly getting there but there is still a fair way to go. “Everyone has their opinions and the new coach obviously has his of me as a player. At the moment we are working through where best suits me in the team. “I am happy to do that and just want to carry on working hard. “I knew when I left New Zealand that this could potentially happen. “It is hard for coaches not to see me as utility because that is what I have done basically all of my career. “It is just a matter of working through those and seeing if I can finally settle in.” http://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/sport/10481921._/

Suck it up Lance !!!

Point of clarity - how did all those games at 6 last year help your game ?

You were just as anonymous at 6 after all those games as you were before.

Find yourself another gravy train.

“This year has been different and I have had a few different niggles to deal with".

Yeah, so have we - you.

Notice he doesn't show any concern about the team's (lack of) performance or his own?

Bye Lance

Re: Lance : Thu Jun 13, 2013 7:36 pm  

Man up Lance!
or just go home you big waste of (cap and quota) space

Hohaia's card was marked over a year ago when Brown said on BBC that he didn't think he was a halfback. He's seen as a utility player because he's bang average at best in every position he plays in. Of all the signings McManus gets criticism for this has been the worst IMO.

I'll give him a lift to the airport

Re: Lance : Thu Jun 13, 2013 7:57 pm  

Lets boo everytime he touches the ball. (Not very often)

Re: Lance : Thu Jun 13, 2013 9:01 pm  

He's frustrated? Try watching him every week!

Re: Lance : Thu Jun 13, 2013 9:11 pm  

Yeah he has been a let down. Away to Cats last season he was solid as hell and perhaps that is him at his best. He has ability we know that 30 test matches tell us that much.
