Excuses for Bennett already coming out I see. Thaiday was just as lazy and unfit under Bennett for the first 3+ years of his career btw.

what have i suggested that is so far out of touch with reality? play players to their strengths? mcguire gets more minutes because thats how he plays best. thaiday gets less cause hes shit. dodds gets less. mccullough wouldve been gone and we would have granville with some more change in the...

Whitchurch sure is a talent though lol. Rushed in from retirement to be on Bennetts bench. Even when we've had matches under griffin where we only used 16 men our bench rotation was better than the other nights.

Exactly. And Lockyer articles are just "yes man" articles. Always have been, always will be. He's on the broncos board remember.

Wtf? I criticized the bench use and I explained exactly what I didn't like about it. You questioned who I would play at hooker if I dumped McCullough immediately and I corrected you and said I didn't want to dump him immediately. You're not making any sense. If I was coach yes he would be...

I didn't say we dump him immediately, I said we tell him to find a new club. Ie. After this year. We have parcell, we can use this year to get him in the nrl and take over from McCullough if hes not up to it, which IMO he isn't. If I was coach we would have Granville as our hooker anyway, we...

Milford is the only reason they didn't add a nice wooden spoon to their trohy cabinet. Their team was terrible, is still terrible, yet his 2014 was still among the best of any player. That's what I'm getting at. You cant use the broncos team as an excuse for him not playing well when Canberra...

So? Just because he played well in origin after that doesn't mean Gould can't have that opinion. QLD at the time had the halves more than covered with Cronk and Thurston, and Lockyer was getting to the injury plagues years. You're not "wrong" for suggesting someone should give up rep footy just...

I agree about griffins cameo type use, but I don't think Bennetts "give the bench players as much time as the starters" way was any better. Theyre bench players for a reason, generally that reason is theyre not as good as the starters. Mcguire should be playing 60+ minutes. We *always* lose...

Bennetts use of the bench was probably the single worst thing out of that match lol. Dodds almost playing as many minutes as mcguire? Thaiday playing the most minutes apart from Glenn? Both starting props playing 40mins or less? Parker having over 20 minutes off the field and then returning at...

Yeh cause at Canberra his team always had a mountain of possession and field position thats why they came so close to winning the premiership and that's why Milford was able to destroy teams every week single handedly from the back.

Didn't motu tony score a try or 2 and get man of the match in his debut? Pretty sure he did. He only played like 2 or 3 games and he was very good in all of them.

the problem was that unless they had another angle that they didnt show on tv then going to the video wouldnt really have helped as you couldnt see the exact moment he caught the ball.

I thought the same, but watching it we cant see when he actually touches the ball. if he catches it high up on his chest his foot was in the air = dropout. if he catches it around his belly then his foot was on the ground = penalty. the replay angles i saw were inconclusive so can't really be...

I used our fantasy league site that QUEENSLANDER built, gets all the stats from somewhere lol. NRLstats.com.au has all of them too. In 2014 Hunt made 61, Vidot 54. Can't really think of anyone else to bother checking. McGuire maybe?

So what did everyone think about Parker being subbed ( and then playing hooker), McCullough being subbed, and running a bench back as a utility? Bennetts use of the bench and player selections in that one game were worse than anything griffin ever did IMO. Parker is an 80 minute player, yet he...

Last year Canberra played souths twice. 1st time Milford scored a try, got a try assist, made a line break, made a line break assist, forced a dropout, and made 14 hitups. 2nd time he scored a try, got a line break assist, made 10 hitups, and forced a dropout. Last night he made 2 hitups...

You said the magic word yourself - surrender. When the ball carrier surrenders the defenders get to work them over more and as such you get a slower play the ball. This is the "dominant" and "surrender" that you hear the referees call. You get quick play the balls by hitting and going over the...

Milford played for Canberra. Canberra were shit. Milford still carved up teams every week and looked like a superstar. You cant then turn around and blame the rest of the team for him not having an impact. He had a huge impact on every game in a far worse team the last 2 years. He's being...

Yay Bennett-ball is back.....
