Round 3: NON Manly games - discussion

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Careful big fella or we will end up back in the general discussion forum again. The passing, kicking, fitness and positional play of the cows was much more significant in the end than Perenara. He had much less effect on the game than he used to have.

You claim they have good fitness but mate cmon 66% possession all teams would get pumped with no ball

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Must say ( Rorters v Bunnies) we haven’t seen that many six agains and certainly not a “ string” of them.

With one ref it’s much faster but we aren’t seeing it one sided ......yet!!

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

This games normal at least..

Roosters are cooked with this Flanagan kid he is hopeless. I guess there weren't any million dollar halves around to buy this time round. HA! cheats! Souths arent much better. We are alot better than these two, latrell back to centers by round 6.. keary has had one to many head knocks. Guy has mastered bombing a try

 

[HoldenV8]

Luke Keary may have kicked for the Chooks first try, but he bombed that one. All he had to do was turn it inside to Tedesco and it was a try.

Absolutely true but the coast gave most of that possession away with bad kicks and bad defensive play. They couldn’t hold the ball for any stretch to get their breath back and, as they tired, they made even more mistakes and got more and more tired. They got trapped repeatedly in their in goal but were unable to trap the cows. Valentine Holmes cut them up with long passes that put the cow attackers into the clear time and again. In this game, once you start to backpedal, it’s going to be hard to form your defensive line again. I think the cows earned their dominance. As a team tires they hold down more and the ref is naturally going to be giving away more 6 again calls.

And therin lies the problem , different Refs , different ways of doing it, all we need is CONSISTENCY!!!

Where was fat boy after that intercept? Snake would have been half a step behind ready to run away for the try.

The crowd in the roosters v Rabbitohs game is not at all animated

Don't give the NRL ideas, Dan. They'll outsource the crowd animation to Warner Brothers or, more likely, Hanna-Barbera.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Roosters 12
Latrell 6

He has barely touched the ball compared to teddy. That's fitness for you. Imho he will be playing center come round 6

 

[Tomay]

Who you get as ref is going to have a Major impact on the game now. The control freaks who want to be the centre of attention (Peranara and co) are going to kill a lot of games. if you get a prime time slot with a competent ref you have a good (better) shot of playing football.

Souffs are gone. The 9 commentators are right, they are still in the sheds.
