Sharks V Rabbits Game Day

Is it wrong to cheer for the Dragons against the cheating Manly scum I feel dirty

 

[Liberate Souths]

Souths were a lot better than normal. Lifted for the big match but burns muffed it and we got depressed. Fully over-counselled I'm afraid.

Beale was magic, fine game.

Cheering for either team is dirty

 

[bluefox68]

I think Bird does provide spark and is versatile, without ever being fantastic in one position. Maybe he should be a "super sub" like in Origin?

Maloney didn't play last week - we missed him big time.
Bird didn't play - nobody even noticed...
Segeyaro provided good impetus, despite some mistakes. Hooker rotation good.

 

[Card Shark]

Also why the hell does Gallen get the ball on the 4th tackle so many times and does a hit up.

Seriously that's a nothing play when we are on the attack 10 to 15 metres away from the opposition line.

Absolutely - stifles the 5th tackle play.

Gee wobbie farah has fallen off the radar this season. Should give it up.

I wasn't upset he didn't play. He's piss poor at the moment. Adds nothing.

I don't know about that. He gave our Nu a good lesson for the first 15 minutes or so.

Conned Nu into giving two penalties to Souffs.

 

[M2D2]

Absolutely - stifles the 5th tackle play.

personally i prefer that than what he used to do running at the line as a 5/8th down the short side.

 

[Weaponhead]

Very ordinary performance for the first 30 of the second half. Closed it out well. Take the 2 points but plenty of improvement needed.

 

[southland]

Totally agree.

I reckon Capewell offers so much more than Bird.

At the moment Bird would make a great 14.
Still think Cape goes better as a forward however.

 

[carcharias]

Bird is a lot better than capewell

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Could have scored a couple more tries on the right last night. Quite a few times we had big overlaps and either Townsend or Bukuya took the ball up instead of releasing the ball to the outside backs.

Players have to look up more and count numbers.

 

[carcharias]

Blew 2 certain try's in the middle

 

[snout]

Bird will be crucial going forward to the finals now.

Be doesnt have the smarts yet to be able to handle origin period and come back for these games.

Guys with 5 times more experience do the same. Look at maloney.

He loves the contest Bird and he plays every play with intensity - something we couldnt manufacture last night playing a bunch of wood ducks.

I reckon he will be one of our players of the finals series.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Did Latimore get a run last night?
I honestly cant remember seeing him on the field
Edit: just checked, he played 13 mins

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Pretty good game.
I thought Chad was outstanding. His kicking game was 95% on & perfect. Then in comes Jimmy & bang clears a 65 metre to the corner.
That switch play blew my mind. Jim to Chad 20m over the top of the play the ball. The coifs footwork had them bamboozled & shame it didnt lead to points.
Gallen was exceptional as usual or always taking that run to get to the points on the field for the enxt play. Huge.

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

People criticising gal for the 4th hitup plays in that game need to look at the context of those hit ups in terms of the time and score and then re-evaluate their opinion.

Bird is so much better than Capewell in the centres. To be honest I don't really know what position suits capes? Second row of he can use that step to get play the balls but his leg speed and drive is not the best.

 

[coolumsharkie]

I hope we keep Bird, I don't get the man love for Capewell, he's played alright but we needed JB in there last night against a team like the Bunnies. Very handy utility is Capewell, better coming off the bench for the forwards.

100% Closed out by the Captain, not especially exciting from a spectators vantage point. He was outstanding in the first half.

 

[Liberate Souths]

Bird is another class altogether than Capewell, the latter certainly showing signs of great promise.

Bird is in semi-elite class.

That Prior hit was massive. Reminds us that at any time an average player with good technique can wipe out a key player. Very handy for the finals.

Its a tough and unforgiving game. Reminds us to respect the players for their courage. Brutal and violent sport. Wow!
