Player Pronunciations

[sharkboy18]

Did u guys hear in the Sharks match how the radio commentators pronounced Filigas name like Fe-ling-a instead of just Filiga?

Is that the right way or is the way we spell it the right way?

 

[bort]

it was easier when he was McNicholl!

how then do you pronounce Filinga Filiga? both name pronounced the same?


bloody maoris

Im sure i heard Gary Freeman call his name "Filingo" lol, love it when someone new comes on the scene & commentators have shockers with their names.

Whiz is a Kiwi, he might of got it right.

I think I posted something like this somewhere a while back about how the hell we call it. Wasn't long after the name change I think.

Personally I don't give a toss what the commentators call him, as long as their calling him in connection with good play.

Phonetically:

Bird is pronounced – Brill-i-ant
Gallan is – Gunna-smash-u
and
Seymour is – Stuffu-sendme-to-parkwillya-Illshow-u

 

[sharks_fan_79]

im gunna get flamed bad for this, but i think filiga is pronounced

Over-RAY-ted???? or something along those lines.

others in the squad

Bird - AWE-some
Gallen - Knee-ds-two-b-cloned
Peek - Val-you
Nutley - Fum-ball
Pomeroy - Under-RAY-ted
DeGois - IIm-press-Ive
Covell - Cann-ot-KICK-fasheet

 

[Bungy]

give him time filiga is not overrated were just too anxious
and Nutley isn't the only fumble fingers
have you noticed Paul Gallen drops the ball every game for the last 3 years

 

[sharks_fan_79]

yep, i have noticed that, especially in the game after the first origin, gallen couldnt hold the ball at all, but he worries defenders each carry, nutley doesnt. i think thats a big difference. bird and gallen tend to make defenders think twice and draw defenders, opening up holes for second phase play.

and gal and bird are fave's of mine so im gunna be biased.....

and peeky has been dropping a few balls of late too, but neither him nor nuts are in the realm of joel clinton.... he is allergic to catching a football

as for filiga, there a blokes on this forum who would drop bird for filiga, and quite possibly have a life size poster of filiga on the roof above thier bed.....

Seymour is – Stuffu-sendme-to-parkwillya-Illshow-u

HAHAHA brilliant

Please point me to the post or posts you are taliking of, you sure you havent been :drunk a little much.

 

[sharks_fan_79]

its called exageration.... but i do think that people on here have been calling for filiga to be promoted long before he is ready, on the back of nothing in particular. it almost seems like "hey, hes got a cool name, he must be awesome, he should be promoted to 1sts"

he runs strong, but doesnt run often, and is soo slow to play the ball when he does that he loses the benefit of such a run, and goes missing when he is tired.

i just reckon guys like peek, who do the job without all the fanfare, are better for the team. i think he's been worth every cent, but filiga isnt showing me he has been a value buy, considering the rumoured pay

but thats just my opinion.

I agree

on the back of nothing in particular. it almost seems like "hey, hes got a cool name, he must be awesome, he should be promoted to 1sts"

I think you will find that most haven't been able to see him play in the lower grades like you have and they want to find out how this young guy really is, Ricky hasn't singed him up because he is his love child.

Well he is only young and has a lot to learn and you obviously don't think he is ready yet and maybe he isn't but I for one am looking forward to the next couple of years he has with us.
