The cupboard is supposedly bare of good young halves coming through. This game had 3 of them.
Agree with the Munster comparison with Strange, He's a strong runner when he pulls the trigger, can put on a hit too. Thought the Raiders would really miss Fogarty's kicking game but Kaeo Weekes has...
I dont mind it.
I mean the criticism was always how the refs used to put the whistle away in extra time.....too scared to make a call.
Plath threw an arm out, didnt have to do it.
Hmm werent you the one a few weeks back absolutely spraying SJ for getting caught on the 4th tackle a couple of times in the game against the Titans taking himself out of the last play option? Apparently its what cost us the game.....might have been a chance for the other playmaker to step up...
I think Niukore out wide highlighted the lack of strike we've had on the edges all year and the lead on effect to our attack.. Its not just having someone capable of breaking tackles out wide but someone capable of shortening the defensive line creating space. Neither Ford or (especially...
This.,
Altho wether Webby would still contemplate CNK at centre is probably doubtful. But i just like the energy Taine brings to the team.
CHT for Capewell my only change. cover for a fragile Egan but could also give him a break. Also Walker to take more of Tohu's miniutes.
Probably not the best example 😁
Half that that 'old" team that went to South Africa was rushed straight back into the ABs including Buck, which went on to win the World Cup.
If anything probably supports the age old precedent a successful team generally is a mixture of old and young heads
Was he offered a contract? From what i remember he was still on contract for another year and wanted the Warriors to extend for some long term security, Warriors weren't prepared to then and there (maybe on the back of that mini slump) and the Panthers (Phil Gould) jumped all over it. Whatever...
Wonder if Zac Lomax is still throwing his toys out of the cot over Flanagan turning him into a winger?
Didnt think Piakura had been that impressive for the Broncs tbh.
More variation needed was obviously evident during that bad patch.
Wether through SJ monopolizing or TMM content taking a backseat (probably a bit of both) hopefully now TMM has the confidence to impose himself on a game, and the rest of the team has the confidence when he calls for the ball...
I know he's a fave of yours Wrighty and given the universal oneness after that win lets go with that then,,,,,,
Evans was a scary mofo who folded sheets...... (sorry) carnts! :D
Was going to quote a post i made in the game day thread but tbh that just comes across as a bit of ego stroking,
Thought the turning point in that game came after the Hammer try. Felt like the Phins thought they had it wrapped up and we we're going to fold for them......they run it on the last...
