NYC Finals Week 3: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks Vs North Qld Cowboys 5:15pm Friday 23rd September 2011 @ SFS

[squeak]

not the best finish but a very good season

Is it just me or does Stewart Mills remind me of slightly more skilled Ben Pomeroy, same running style same big fend.

Is it just me or does Luke Pickard remind me of a less skillfull Nathan Gardner, although his support play, very good. He really needs to man up with the bombs though.

Peachey will be a great impact Hooker me thinks in the near future.

Frizzell was strong, he should be in first grade.

The NYC team next year will have a completely different look, with alot of players not qualifying right?

 

[deano the p]

Bad luck to the boys all season we have struggle vs big packs but it was a great season from the boys.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Watching the game now, first 15 mins in. Men against boys, am sure it gets uglier too. Boy do the Cowboys have some good players coming through. Presuming the Warriors win tonight then its going to be a good NYC GF next week.

Our two props were terrible in letting the lock in, showed no intent at all.

Does anyone know which players WON'T be eligible to play NYC next year ?

ok, Mills has no idea in defense, certainly not ready for a centre spot in firsts next year thats for sure. He'll make a good winger I think.

I really like the look of Raru off the bench, he'll be hard to stop next year when he's a year older.

Actually Mills just put a nice shoulder on someone.

And I've mentioned this befoer but Alcock is good.

 

[Weaponhead]

Masima and Raru were good in the pack. Masima has really nice technique with his offloads. Raru is a beast- both played SG Ball this year, so they have plenty of time left to develop. Same goes for Lichaa.

I could only watch the first half, but it just wasn't our night. In the end our main weakness was exposed again- lack of power and leg drive in the pack. Good on the Cowboys, they deserved to win.

Agree re Masima, Raru and Lichaa.

Masima needs a big offseason to increase his power but he is a footballer. I reckon he will be better than Frizzell.

Raru has the aggression that the starting props lack. He has plenty of upside.

Lichaa has something about him as well. Good size for a hooker. Hopefully, her develops his passing range to dictate terms from dummy half.

[Tiger Shark]

thansk mate. Looks like our teams is going to have a very different feel about it.

I will presume Walsh and Penani will be our halves, with Lichaa at hooker ?

Any SG Ballers going to get a shot ? Didn't the Academy team play today ?

 

[snowman]

We put up a better fight than the doggiezzzz

 

[Tiger Shark]

We put up a better fight than the doggiezzzz

Thats for sure.

 

[djhabib]

thank god we dont have to face the warriors

 

[sandman77]

We put up a better fight than the doggiezzzz

lol the dogs didnt even put up a fight, they just watched the warriors run riot

 

[Mr Wright]

Damn, I thought the Peach was avaliable for 20's next year

He should benefit heaps from playing against men in the NSW Cup though. That goes for Townsend, Mills and Frizell (if he stays with us.)

 

[Beejay]

cbf the rest

That Jake Walsh is eligible for the next 5 years probably

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Frizell (if he stays with us.)

Where would he go?

 

[deano the p]

There was a rumour going around that he might return to Union.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Meh, good luck to him if he wants to play that minnow sport.

 

[Bundy Shark]

There was a rumour going around that he might return to Union.

hope not

 

[deano the p]

It was some time ago now, if it was going to happen I'm sure we would have heard something by now.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Can't believe people are talking trash about Townsend and not Friz.

 

[gando2230]

I agree Mark i thought Friz was quiet,

He needed to more involved in the middle and get the ball more when he get those legs pumping he in unstoppable.
