Throw Long Bannatyne

Quote from: TecnoGenius on September 14, 2025, 08:27:37 AMExume is nothing but a NAT backup DB/FS.  Like we always used him.  MTL figured it out too.  And he's ok at it.  Maybe a bit better than a Hallett.

Only SSK thinks he's a starter, and probably only because they are in ratio heck most of the time.  I think they've learned their lesson, but they don't have much choice in terms of ratio.

They don't think he's a starter either, Exume was an injury replacement. He was a good ST player in Wpg. but was never given any time to develop as a DB.

And yet here we are... He's started several weeks now.  They could have gone out and gotten Houston, too.  I'm pretty sure he started quite a few games in MTL also.  Some people think (hope?) he is a starter, and a ratio buster.  But he's not.
Never go full Rider!

I'm sure Mace doesn't see him as a starter but both Sayles and Campbell were game day scratches, therefore Exume and Sapp became next up at CB, MBT took notice and the rest is history.

Yes, it's so frustrating that every other OC will pick up on the weak link and attack it mercilessly (like against our Lawson/Vaval).  Yet we don't seem to ever try to pick out, and pick on, the weak link.

Maybe we don't want to win?
