I suppose people are suprised because before game 1, both bellamy and daley were saying that this NSW team that was picked with the future in mind. I took that to meant that a new team needs time to build, not just one game.
I am not suprised though, because I knew this was going to happen...
First of all, was not sure on the situation of Hoffman or Manihera, but Manihera did sign with us last year.
Also I am yet to see an U20s player who could actually lift to the much higher standard that is NRL. All these young players get noticed first because of their attack, but they have...
I am a little concerned with some of the U20s players, such as Copely (as someone mentioned). U20s players are nowhere near the standard of Q cup or the NRL and absolutely no skill in defense. Why not Hoffman or Maneihera (sp?).
The grasping of straws has begun already.
That origin game was ours for the taking, considering the numerous, lucky decisions that went the way of NSW. Those last 15 minutes were fantastic.
As for Tonga I am little nervous regarding his defense, size and lack of experience, but those things...
That is what I meant. Sorry I wasn't really clear.
Mason wanted to go first and most teams know that there is no point keeping a player who won't be happy there, particuarly if they aren't playing well. Just seems to me that if you make a committment to play at a club then you should honour it.
I am suprised Wallace was picked again, going by his current form. I thought they were going to pick Soward, due to good kicking game. Especially as so many officials, commentators etc were saying that NSW lost due to their kicking game (well one reason anyway [icon_wink ).
Glenn Stewart is...
While better than last week's game, we still have massive issues in our defense. I believe it all comes down to laziness and forwards being used in the wrong way. Parker has no impact whatsoever, why he is running wide I do not know. Thaiday should be running wide instead.
Kicking game was...
Yes definitely. Why the hell is Parker being used out wide and Thaiday isn't? Parker is absolutely crap at the moment, and has proven yet again that he is just weak. Always starts well and then it is just downhill from there. Thaiday isn't being allowed to make an impact when he does the...
Sick of hearing about Swine flu. The common cold kills more each year. Even the whole quarantine thing is getting out of hand, especially when more people get the normal flu each year.
This will turn out like Bird flu, and SARS.
This has turned out to be a very expensive shag.
$50 000 is over the top, unless there is more to the story or this is not his first offense.
Bet he wishes he just kept his mouth shut now.
Still others did far worse and got off. Let's see if future punishments will be in line with this one.
I thought Hunt was one that did try and put some spark into the game, but no one helped him. Maybe he gave up, when no one else made the effort.
I wouldn't feel bad about walking out on them. I turned the TV off at around 70 minutes, and I definitely wanted to turn it off earlier.
I thought SBW wasn't allowed to play for another club. Also he would be taking a significant pay cut, why would he come back to RL?
Mason can piss off for all I care, he was a 'never was'. Never lived up to the hype and is yet anothe player to add to the list of disappointing NSW players that...
