I'd prefer to watch Cam Smith if you're talking about what works at dummy-half.

He looks almost effortless and with absolutely no urgency at all.

Such an incredible tradesman.

I agree..........Souths do well too.....funny these are the top 3 teams...seriously bring back Tevita Latu

Haha, nice. But you appeared to have missed a mongoloid.

Watched the game a couple times myself and fugg how predictable are we? You can see the plays coming a mile before they do. Robson, Graham on one edge, Lewis on the other edge, Gallen in the middle, then Gallen moving out wide to do that little dummy and wrap around play with Gordon.

That's why we couldn't make a line break, the defence knew exactly what was about to happen.

Yeah, I did the same. I cringe when I see us trying to execute a backline move. Poor Gordon got hammered in the second half there when Sio just zeroed in on him. I that move was going to fool anyone. A lot of it has to do with Robson. The bloke just can't sell anything. I know when he is going to run, pass and kick. He is just that predictable. The reason why Cronk and Thurston are so dangerous is that they have a lot of option runners and every one of them could get the ball. That is hard to defend against as opposed to our backline move by numbers.

Do the boys have a TV in their training facility? Do they watch Storm games and learn their plays? They should. It doesn't look like they do. Like anything in this world, you gotta learn from the best to be in the game. You wouldn't go into a guitar battle against Dimebag Darrell with a swag of Nirvana riffs, you don't go into the ****ing premiership race with a couple of rubbish plays from little league.

How? You'd have to pay me money for me to watch it a second time.

Gotta agree with Tef. Robson doesnt offer much. it really showed how much we rely on carney. I cant see us scoring points unless its from a kick or second phase play

 

[deano the p]

Still too angry to think about this game.

it's the ASADA investigation that is making us predictable

 

[slide rule]

I asked someone once why we don't get a lot of penalties for this and it has been said its because we don't try and play the ball quick enough.

It is one of the many things I find most frustrating about our team.

did you see our attacking kicks ? cant score from those kicks !

The one thing i did find funny about the game after Chads 3rd line drop it went past the 30m line on the full and got he got a cheer from the crowd.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Thank Christ I missed this game.

I missed it too. I have no intention of watching it either.

I don't care what anyone says, there are benefits to not having Foxtel.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Hamsy, haven't seen you in this thread for a while. Any reason for that? :drunk

 

[hamsy44]

No other then feeling like a massive goose and owing money can't think of why I would avoid it.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Haha. Don't worry about it mate, the bet was heavily skewed in my favour. Can't believe you took me up on it. Don't worry about paying up, all good.

 

[hamsy44]

haha alright but I will keep it in mind if I ever meet you in person at a sharks game. VB on me.
