We Are Now Contenders (As of Round 11)

I never mentioned a thing about his game yesterday, i didn't watch it. Sounds like he played well.

I'm just stirring Umina because he said he was an above average defender for a half... based on one tackle.

Obviously as a fan of the bloke I've been watching every Sharks game. My comment is based on far more than 1 tackle, he's been doing very well. Which is funny because the major excuse people used for him not playing 6 is that he'd never be able to handle defending in the line.

Have you seen the halves running around these days? Calling him above average defensively for a half isnt really a wrap considering the standard of defence by halves.

And no kicking game. Knights would disagree with that one though.

 

[franklin2323]

Completely agree.

That's almost word for word what was said about us and shot down with "there are no easy games". The simple fact is a few people on here are the only people in the league community that think that.

None of the games were easy though. Especially the game they won 10-9, Had Parra miss a kick on the bell to win. They just didn't play teams in good form it always even's itself out in the end

Moylan is flying now but you have a massive headstart

A bit surprised to see Jimmy pick up 2 points. I thought Cleary shaded him on the night. Peachey also gave the Dragons serious headaches. Yeo with 3 was a good choice.

Yeah I had DWZ ahead of Jimmy too. The Dally M voting is rarely right, Moylan probably didn't deserve 3 points last week either.

Personally id like every player rated out of 10 every game to pick the player of the year but I guess that's all too much work for the NRL

RTS got a point over half the Souffs team. Dally M is f**ked.

 

[Kilkenny]

Toss of the coin between DWZ & Yeo for the three points and yes probably one of the halves for the one point. There is serious issues with the Dally M and the game probably needs to do something to reestablish credibility in the award.

Completely agree. The ratings often defy commonsense.

It could be replaced entirely with a statistics based measure, or even a weighted statistics / subjective assessment. At the moment it is a completely subjective, non-transparent and often baffling measure.

They have to watch the game live and have only an hour to do so. Makes it hard to to do on the run. I often miss stuff until I watch it again

All the more reason to modify how it is done. Perhaps 50% from subjective assessments from a live watch (as it is done now) plus 50% from an agreed system of objective statistical measures.

Flying? Come on mate. You’re not flying until you’ve done it 4 or 5 times.. let’s see how he goes against the Bunnies.

 

[unKwn]

Lol the dally m is so f**ked. Anyone who wants to argue otherwise can just be told to look at Ruan sims' blunder few weeks ago.

I thought the points were spot on. Maloney was superb.

I hate the title of this thread BTW. It sets as up for a fall and seems arrogant. I know the posts have been quite reserved but it is just tempting fate and getting other fanse ready to dust off their best schadenfreude quotes.

 

[Nealo 12]

Too much Panther love in the media atm , thank god for the bye and origin !

The new western Sydney stadium will be a great home for our finals games.

Stop being a coward. Only Melbourne or Sharks can stop us

Agree 100%.

"The proof of the puddin',is in the eating" as the old saying goes,and there is no sign of arrogance anywhere in this or any thread I've read at this time of writing. Hopefully this trend continues as historically,we have been pretty much level-headed about our position on the ladder.

And most importanly,we are around the half way mark in the comp. Such a long road yet to travel.

Why do you say that?
