Some crap being chatted about Hill these days.

Yes he wasn't the perfect captain and had tendency to lose composure and get distracted, but the idea that he was in comfort zone or not committed is total bull. If anything his problems were he was getting frustrated like us fans at all these false dawns and so kept losing his rag on the field.

Maybe he needed a fresh start for his own good, but he was an all time great Wire prop and it was a sad day when he left.

I agree with that but I do think he was symptomatic of our lack of winning culture and elite mentality. In that respect, there's more than one way to be a 'bad egg'.

That said, he was a great player for us and should be remembered as such. Just never captain material.

The fact he was "comfortable" with 4 losing Grand Final medals shows his mentality.

Perhaps a player can also reach a stage of frustration at pulling his tripe out for a cause but some of his team mates are on a different page.

Wasn't it the case that we offered him a 1 year deal and Hudds offered him a 2 year deal?
I suppose there's more to his move than that and overall I think he's probably done the right think from both a playing and financial perspective.
Sad he went though.

Re: Kyle Amor : Thu May 26, 2022 2:12 pm  

Hill was a fantastic player for us and looks like the move has reinvigorated him. Every time I see a picture of him I look for Gromit though.

If that was aimed at me, I am not slagging him off. He was a good servant to the club and a very good forward. By his own admission he went stale into a comfort zone. I would have thought he would have been itching to win a GF winners medal with us but obviously that was not the case. That was the comment on the (winning) mentality.

Re: Kyle Amor : Thu May 26, 2022 9:03 pm  

Not just Hill
The entire front row been in a comfort zone for a good few years now, poor value for money and poor effectiveness
Two down, one to go
Not took Powell long to spot it
