Like smokin says, no intensity. I can deal with second year blues but show me you are trying at least. He's playing like he thinks he's as good as last year.

Who knows, maybe the whole pandemic/hub thing is effecting him worse than most.

Seems to take too long to dispose of it, whether thats speed of mind at the moment, but suspect his confidence is really low and he's therefore not playing on instinct, totally different to last year when he was playing on instinct much much more.

For the critics, think back to Bolton’s second year. Only played 3 games and looked very underwhelming.

Stack is struggling but has way too much talent not to persist with.

Looks like all the bad habits are back. At this point is 50/50 to be on the list next year. Ability not the issue but attitude is
 
You just got to keep persisting with him. It’s all about his tank. It will improve. Bolton is the example.

Don't disagree that he's got the talent, but we can't afford passengers running into finals this season.

His confidence is shot, but it's his work off the ball that is the worrying sign. Not working anywhere near hard enough, lack of pressure, chasing, gut running. If he was giving bursts of highlights you could almost turn a blind eye, but there's no sign of a net gain is his role right now.
 
Gee wilackers , Syd is struggling, I thought he was starting to take some baby steps forward , looks like his trying, maybe too hard, he just isn’t producing what comes naturally to him.

if it wasn’t Dreamtime would 100% give a spell, however 1% says maybe it could spark him

They are giving him every chance to switch on, he's just not getting into 4th and 5th.

Kids got a transmission problem.

He doesn't have Rioli bloodlines or 2 Premiership medals to fall back on.

Running out of chances to find his mojo if he manages to keep his spot next game he'll want to perform or he'll be gone for the rest of the season.

Dont want to be getting omitted in the next 2 weeks especially with senior players coming back cos thats likely curtains.
