We seem to go through this every few years where we have a go-to person like Angus or Manu who then becomes heavily marked, and then many fans bag them without understanding that if they are being heavily marked it means there is more space for other players around them. This is an example of stats not showing the true value of a player.

Originally posted by Inflictor View PostI think Gussy has been one of our best forwards this year. Maybe the focus is more on the improvements of Whyte, Wong, Foketi, Steep and his efforts are going more unnoticed.
He still hits the line hard and is solid in defence.
He hasn't made as many line breaks or scored as many tries in the past (not that I have checked the previous stats) his effort levels are still there. Maybe teams are marking him more this year.
With Sammy back I would expect those line breaks and tries will come more frequently. He nearly scored off one of those Sammy grubbers on the weekend.
Some hard markers.

Rinse and repeat. Has happened a few times now with us. Sets the world on fire, gets his new deal, then goes back into his shell.

Originally posted by BTRD View PostHas scored once this year. Very sluggish. Never makes a break.
In club land, Hudson Young, Eli Katoa and Dylan Lucas seemed to offer a lot more than Angus - at the moment.1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

Made a run during the 3rd origin game, and only a miracle tackle by a Queenslander prevented him from scoring a try.
He is also one of the first on the scene when the grubber kick is put through into the in -goal.
I still think he is busting his ass.
Personally, I love it when he takes the angry pills, like he was doing earlier this year.

Gus is still at the very top of echelon of backrowers, a lot of his outstanding form can an be attributed to Sam Walker, I think we will see more of the old Gus in the coming months he looks a little tired more then anything, damn origin schedule doesn’t help he will be a go to man in the coming weeks.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before (I'm the new girl.,.only been a member since 2009)
I had no idea this was Angus's barbershop. I walk past it all the time until I saw him on Connor Watson's Instagram. (who has nearly 80,00 followers, He must be the Jennifer Aniston of the NRL..)

And keeping with our shampoo theme, a blast from the past..yes I had too much time on my hands whilst on extended sick leave from here..
