Newcastle Knights

To be fair, Copley has been pretty good of late too, ever since Gagai left.

Copley's a player I think could eventually leave Brisbane to get an extended run in his actual position (centre) and bite them in the arse. I understand why Brisbane fans don't like him though; I just get a "loser" vibe from him. It's hard to explain but whenever there's a 50/50 involving him I always expect nature to not decide in his favour. The higher the stakes, the more I get this feeling. There have been other players like this through time as well - Daniel Fitzhenry and Jarrod Croker gave me the same feeling. It's a quality separate from actual ability and one that probably doesn't actually exist, but it makes me not really back them to come through when needed... as if they're just terminally unlucky or something. Hard to explain.
