Re: Roberts chances at the judiciary?
Blatant and stupid, regardless of how hard he kicked he got what he deserved. Probably should be out for his public acts of stupidity anyway, so maybe the guy learns at least one lesson this season.
Definitely some positives to take out of the game, Cowboys were awful bit as has been pointed out Sharks were last week but we didn't put them away. Reed is not a first grade player deadset the amount of times he got the ball and went diagonal back in field was ridiculous, Cowboys were...
Blair's role should be cutting the oranges for the under 20's, bloke is a deadset nuffy and comes from a long line of players who looked a million bucks under Bellamy and was almost instantly found out to be nowhere near the player he was in that system.
Our wing stocks are atrocious.
We have one good one at the club (Oates) the rest are either mistake prone (Vidot, Maranta), not wingers (Kahu, Copley, Reed). The lack of either development of modern day types (larger and taller and generally more robust) is very clear and only Oates ticks...
If Bennett has told Blair not to run, he is a bigger relic than I thought. Good waste of a spot in your team all that does is put way too much on the shoulders of McGuire and Parker as well as the bench props. Even the "sure-up" defensive props make hitups, Blair is just being lazy. But if...
I lol at the theory he doesn't make hitups coz he passes prior to the line, he had a grand total of 6 touches against Cronulla which means he ran once and shoveled on to the next bloke ineffectively 5 times.........what an impact.
The guy is crap and was an horrendous signing based on the...
On Oates I am in complete agreement. Playing him out in the backs improves the backs (given the other options) and gives one of our best young players 80 minutes a week instead of very limited time off the bench because lets face it our backrow is far better with good depth than our outside backs.
For now:
1. Kahu
2. Maranta
3. Oates
4. Hodges
5. Vidot
6. Milford
7. Hunt
Full strength:
1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Copley
4. Hodges
5. Vidot/Kahu/Maranta (pick on form)
6. Milford
7. Hunt
Oates doesn't need to be in the pack he is a better option than all our 3/4'ss except Hodges...
You don't scramble much when your opponent makes 2 line breaks and offloads 7 times all game, that is a fact. Keeping the Sharks tryless is not a top effort on what they dished up last night they were completely inept with the ball the only play they have is Gallen gets in the way and does it...
I am not saying anyone is wrong I just find it hard to see how some people are taking anything positive out of that game, it was awful to watch. Neither side looked capable of scoring (our two tries came off a half dropped offload and a dropped ball by Feki and their only points came from a...
Also letting in no tries is not miraculous if all you are doing is making square one on one tackles that is just doing your job. Sharks barely got into space coz they were awful so the Broncos never really even had to scramble.
Showed pretty decent attack haha that will do me! Going one out to Gallen, Fifita and Graham is not pretty decent attack, it is predictable. There was a grand total of 3 line breaks in that game, not due to great defense but due to completely uninspired and uncreative attack, neither side...
Blair was shit and he is spot on about that, who gives a shit how many tackles he makes when as a prop half your job is to take one run a set while you are out there, he took 1 run in total that is gutless and shows exactly how crap the guy has actually become. It was a Mitchell Dodds type...
I know it isn't comparing apples and apples but James Graham had 13 runs for 85m in 25 minutes last night, Blair had 1 for 7m in that time (and turns out in total for the game). That is unacceptable and points to two things, one that Blair is obviously not putting in and looking for the ball...
He has got progressively worse both in attack and defense since his breakout year. Guy is an absolute nuffy who wouldn't make any other full strength NRL backline which just demonstrates how bad ours is.
Also that was not some heroic defensive display. It was Cronulla the worst attacking side on the planet, Kahu made one great tackle on Bukuya but besides that they were even less threatening than us. Gallen is their most creative player and he is a thick head lock with no creativity, Barba and...
