It seems since Allan has come into the group, Tragardh has struggled.
Is it;
(a) A coincidence
(b) An injury
(c) Can't handle someone else taking shots and the spotlight away from him
I hope he gets back to form quickly. Definitely detrimental to the Tigers when he is not performing.

I'd like to think he's more professional than that 'and1'. If that is his attitude then he should have been sacked with Ubaka!
Tough question. May need to see their next game before answering. If he's bad again then I'll answer with c.
He's a massive frontrunner. Chucks up a lot of rubbish which surprisingly has been dropping for most of the season, is a poor rebounder for his size and on the defensive end makes Daniel Johnson look like David Robinson.
He started struggling straight after McPeake screwed with the team

Injury is the cause!!! I been told carrying a calf strain since NZ game so can't train
as he'd like thus effecting his game
Trigger is great when he is making his freak like shots & don't get me wrong he has a great touch. but when his offence aint rolling he is useless.
he cant play d (or just doesnt), hes not a great rebounder & I dont see him as a great creator for others i.e. via screens & passes.

Is it really a surprise he hasn't played well since the Ubaka incident.... I don't know how any player could focus on the game knowing their owner is an assclown who could fire them after the game just cos they had an average one! That's a lot of pressure to go and play with!!!

Burston has also come back in that time, although we have been told trigger was playing out of position all season, he had settled into that role.
Now he has to share it with someone else.
might just be the case of teams shutting down his looks close to the basket

What I struggle to understand is Allan is 10000 times better at creating for others in the team than ubaka was. I thought Allan would compliment tragardh.
I am one who thinks Burston needs to pay more because it's all well and good to say tragardh is dominating in the 5, but the tigers are still losing. So it's great to have the leading scorer but what is it worth if you don't make finals?
