Official Blayke Brailey

[BurgoShark]

Or be hindered by “their” vision of the game

Other words

Stubborn/thick

I'm talking more specific technical stuff. E.g. Croker try v Manly.

Forum/fan view: "Brailey ****ed up by running out of the line and forcing DCE to run back through the ruck".

Experienced view: "Kick pressure needs to come from A-defender and the marker. B-defender and far side A-defender need to plug in case the marker gets beaten, because by shooting up the A-defender will be out of play".

I'm not the experienced guy btw. This is literally a conversation I have had with a retired Aus/Qld rep.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Some of the best coaches were **** players, some of the **** coaches were the best players

What level you played at means **** all in the grand scheme of things

Id rather take notes from Craig Bellamy than Brad Fi

I agree with all that mate, but I don't think you and @Wiz totally get what I mean, or else you are just ignoring my point to make your own.
Fair enough. But if you think you two know more than any current first grade coach, then I'll stop right here because there is no point me going on.

I think you've summed it up nicely here mate.

I've done all of the kicks from the first half in a thread.

I'm not "defending" Brailey. I'm saying you can have a hooker who just shovels the ball to the halves every time, or a hooker who has a bit of a licence to make the call. If you want the second one, be prepared for the ball to go to someone other than the halves on the last occasionally, and for it to not always pan out.

Note here that there are 6 defenders on the Panthers right edge, 2 at marker, and an A-defender.. That leaves 3 guys defending the other side of the field, plus Edwards at the back. I'd say the decision here was Tracey's to make based on seeing the numbers. Good call. **** kick.

if nikora was at second row the short ball would have been on also, luai is heading sideways. like you said right call, **** outcome

 

[Jasonstevenswedgie]

Here we go with bort coming to suck off burg

Him passing to a fill in winger on the last instead of our halves lined up for a play in our first and one of the only good ball sets of the half isn’t the different things we want him to do, No one has ever said that

It’s f**king stupid, proves his decision making needs work - and it’s “bad choice, sht outcome” you’re not slick

It’s not hard to say yeah it wasn’t the best move and be done with it rather then trying to sound smart and different

you werent in good will hunting were you? you remind me of the guy in the bar but instead of repeating something from a book, you just repeat what snowman says.

When you have someone like “Jason Stevens wedgie” agreeing with you, you know you fu**ed up

Go to bed wiz.

If I understand the discussion we've had for the past 24+ hours:

1. Brailey is **** and about as useful as a wet lettuce or some such. And it's painfully obvious to anyone with superior rugby league knowledge.

2. Anyone saying 'not so fast, it's not that simple' is either brain-dead or just plain stupid. Maybe both.

3. He should always make the right play (well, who shouldn't?) pass, run or kick, with that play being evaluated based on the outcome. If it doesn't pan out to perfection, it's on him... Sounds fair.

5 metres out, blind side wide open and halfback well marked. Pass to halfback. Got it. Good heads up footy.

Cabbage mate. Lettuce is far more versatile.

Crap... I knew I'd missed something. I wonder who the lettuce is. Moylan perhaps?

You'd have the think a lot of high-level players understand the technical side of the game though, even if they can't teach effectively, man-manage, run a budget etc.

I'd rather take notes from Jack Reed than Joe Bloggs.

depends again on the people

some people you call joe bloggs study the game and understand it more than a meat head who lifted weights to run at people

its preference and who is talking really

I love how people’s urge to get me wrong overrides their common sense it’s cute


The picture and play speaks for itself and it says stupid

The urge wouldn't be there if occassionally, just occasionally you were man enough to admit you were wrong sometimes. I know it doesn't happen often Wiz () but I'd like to hear it just once. Unlike this below from Fonzie in Happy Days:

Maybe in the 80's and 90's, but you can't play NRL these days without getting the technical things right. No winger would last three games if he wasn't standing in the correct position depending on field position, tackle count, situation, etc. (Jack Reed is someone who is actually really knowledgeable on this stuff btw).

Meat head or not, if he doesn't grasp the technical bits no coach is going to pick him. That extends down to junior reps etc. now too. It's probably a reason why Ronnie made it and Lumelume didn't. You can have the all of the physical tools but if you can't nail the technical side of the game you are only ever going to be depth.
