Quote ="Grimmy"What about the eternal potnential of Darrell Goulding? I'm still waiting for him to put three seasons together without playing so poorly he gets dropped for the rest of the year (it's never yet happened, though he did once manage two)'"
He has been very good in 3 of the last 4 seasons ffs, 2010, 2012 and 2013. In 2011 he was certainly no worse than average and was injured for half of it anyway.
Lets look at the other seasons then. In his 1st season he played 1 game as a 17 year old, I dont know what you really expected of him that season, indeed a year later he was playing in an u18s Grand Final. Then there are 3 seasons when he was 18, 19 and 20 in a relegation threatened team with the likes of Tim Smith, David Vaeleki, Cameron Phelps and Karl Pryce. In this era he was playing under Millward and Noble when he was often made a scapegoat by the latter. He actually did very well in many games considering his age against some very good centres like Senior and Hape. Again I dont know what you expect from him as a teenager, Hampshire, Powell, Williams et al have all been flops so far if you are trying to make out Goulding was poor in his first 4 seasons
