I want to go back 24 hours and plonk $100 on him kicking the first goal.

On my betting account I had 10 bucks next to his name at 31 or something, changed it to Steve Morris at the last minute. Morris kicks a point, Batch goals....

Broke the first law of punting n serves you right. Never ever change a bet once it's laid. If you have doubts after, you cover your option with a second bet, but leave the original bet stand.
 
Don't you guys lose money from punting over the years? And if so, is it still fun because it's treated as entertainment? Just wondering why people bet as I've never considered it myself, yet it seems extremely popular.

Never bet on Steve Morris to score a goal is probably also a sensible rule

Been to the Leysey school of punting it seems.
 
I was a fan in his first season, then I slowly dropped off due to the amount of marks taken on him and lack of match ups for him, like all he has his limitations, however his defiantly played solid in recent games, keep the graph rising Jake
 
Off contract at years end would be wanting to pull his finger out.

Hasnt been anywhere near the player he was in his first season.

Was a real positive in his first year.

Looked like he lost a lot of that agility from early on as they tried to bulk him up too much and match him up on key forwards who had at least a couple inches on him. Didn't work.

I think he's still going to run into match up problems down the track so he needs to turn himself into a poor mans Grant Birchall. His offensive game needs to significantly come along and on the weekend it was a positive step. 20 touches, solid intercept marking and no poor clangers.

Signed for 2 years last year so he's out of contract after 2016 season. There was an article on the rfc site, I can't find it but I'm certain he did extend.

I felt the games he was playing last year was an attempt to boost any trade value. Turns out he actually just slipped into our 22. Good on him, I hope he continues his form.
