Official William Kennedy

[egg]

There are different types of support play. Kennedy has always been good at “push support”.

AND the number 18 for the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks is Burgo , proudly sponsored by Hestia Bra's

Okay sure, then I agree with all of that. The set is definitely an example of the side being good at it. But wasn't the conversation more around Kennedy's role in support? I think play 4 kind of highlights the previous criticism of him in this space, he seems to have been a few yards off the pace of where he needed to be to be a real option.

Yeah - but I went off on a bit of a tangent trying to explain push support. That particular one is really just to show the team doing it well, but it also shows WK pushing forward rather than standing around waiting for the next "set play" to happen.

 

[BurgoShark]

Not sure if this is entirely relevant to what is being discussed but Fitz did mention recently that Briton Nikora is doing a lot more work off the ball than people may notice. So he may be doing this push support but not getting the ball sometimes.

Yeah. In measurable stat for support play Sharks forwards are all really high up in the league. Every team does it, but Fitz-ball even moreso.

on deardon?

No try (killed my multi) but looked soooo good tonight.

In the first 20-30 minutes he looked like breaking every tackle. Pretty special considering that's not even his game.

He picks out spaces to run or pass to exceptionally and has great acceleration - not your power based tackle buster but can slice through

on deardon?

Wish he did that in the semi final last year, gave me flashbacks

 

[Mr Ryan]

The way he attacked their kicks, and got there on the full, was superb.

Some of the kicks weren’t that bad, but he got there, and beat a tackle or 2.

That stuff makes a massive difference in where we start our sets.

find a better fullback for what we are paying him

 

[Hughesy215]

I was saying the same thing. In salary cap land where you measure players on value for money... we are winning the league with this guy. He is on fire at the moment.

Considering there is zero competition for his spot where pre-season there was plenty. I am so happy to see him kill it

No thanks. I'm loving fully fit Kennedy.

Teddy is old, Turbo stuffed. Only Edwards " better" arm.

I don't think Edwards is playing better than Will this year.

Yeah Teddy is on a steep decline isn't he. All of a sudden Will is shooting up the ranks. I'd say Latrell is better too at this point, but definitely not in terms of value against the cap.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Teddy seems to spend all his time at the moment arguing with the ref. Maybe if his brain dead players didn't commit so many fouls, he wouldn't need to.

Not sure if it was Ennis, but on Fox they were comparing Kennedy's influence to Peacheys back in the day.

Pretty fair comparison tbh.
