Palu MIA Again.

It appears Greg Martin gets it right sometimes. Well once at least.

Still a pretty low blow to personally criticise a player on such a show. While he was at it why didn't he have anything to say about Beale, or is he untouchable like Folau?

...dogging?!!?

I didn't see it. But why is it a low blow to criticise in-field performance? On Palu's performance(s); against the top teams, particularly NZ, he goes missing regularly. So I agree with him for once.

Where else would this be raised? I don't have a single problem with it.

Palu is a flat track bully.

[Timbo]

I am seriously conflicted. Trying to choose between a strong learned behaviour to disbelieve anything that Martin utters and a sustained observation that Palu so often fails to deliver when it counts.

[valzc]

The reason I feel it's a low blow is because he's used a public forum to single out a player when there are others who have been just as guilty of slacking. Just doesn't seem right to publicly single out ONE guy on national show to humiliate him. Pretty sure Palu can't be blamed primarily for the whole loss. I don't agree with Palu being selected but it was just poor taste how Marto went about it. Yet again he's inserted his foot in his big gob.

Marto is correct and as the saying goes he was seeing red or maybe a lack of it ...
All Marto is doing is complaining about the lack of reds in the team and looking to see how he could get more there

Marto only doing what he does best putting mouth in gear b4 thinking as Shasta said......I am sure Shasta and Many of you could name 5 or 6 players who were MIA in both AB Games ...
