Jake Batchelor

You should change your name to Pipis or Driftnet. You certainly spend a lot of time fishing round here
 
He got a bit of a wrap from Ross Smith for his efforts. "Sound down back, particularly early. Valuable contributor down there".
 
Watts is one of the worst #1 picks ever. Never seen such a pea heart. And yep batch slaughtered him.

I've finally made a call on this book, not up to it.

He is a hack. Slow, dumb, *smile* skills.

Will no doubt play 200 games for us. A typical RFC footballer.

I was wrong about jake Batchelor
He played a decent game today. Better game than a few of our stars, I must say

Seriously? For the role he plays he's not good enough. His kicking and decision making is not good enough. I'd hazard to say he's one of our worst for disposal efficiency into the forward line. No idea where they have these stats (I'm sure they do) but he has to have a low %, easily probably beaten by Grigg which is why I am happy when he tags but when Batchelor is picked to be one of our players that influence the transition he just isn't upto it.
 
Was he on tram tracks when we were making a run and he decided it'd be a good idea to just run right into their ruck man and turn it over? That was the end of the game right there.
 
If Batchelor remains in the best 22 each week then the Tigers will continue to struggle to gain the traction to success.

He put up a fight today I thought

Need more than just that. Thats the same reason why Morris is apparently in the team. These 2 should be the first 2 shipped out into the VFL, neither is upto it.

Agree.
Nothing personal against Batch who tries hard - but he's not good enough for a team that would want to play finals.
