That’s a good point, because of the glue factor.

You should be good next year, but on form, 17 games in a row, is historic, it’s a big big deal and it’s as a team.

Freddie’s got some genuine knuckleheads in there! Great team for um....2017!

Lets look from then. Roosters still top 4. Rabbitohs still Prelim final. Storm premiers again. Raiders backed up a GF with a Prelim Final.

Until those sides get beat in club level then those guys will dominate rep sides. Part of why footy has been a snooze fest over the last 5 years

Teddy hasn’t been dominant this year.
Nathan Brown?
Boyd Cordner? Wtf!
Zac Lomax?!!
Keary got smashed by Souths. He had nothing.
I could go on, but it’s 2017 formula and Freddy will structure everything.

The game has changed. You need speed, you need agility and you players willing to play what they see.

Mid field defence is yesterday’s news. It’s all about clutch moments in dangers zones, it’s about not slowing down play. It’s about the whole line being under threat at almost all time’s.

Clearys pass wasn’t on in the gf, the idea was ok, looking to spread the ball quickly, but a lot of these NSW players are slow slow slow. Boyd Cordner in 2020?! Kiks would run around him 3 times before he straightened up and got smashed as per usual!

Go away and leave me alone.

I don’t want anything to do with you, Alice and your constant nagging, bullying and personal abuse.

I don’t hassle Alice when comes into our forum and makes very strange submissions!
Nagging, personal abuse and bullying? I suggest you look up the meaning of the words. I am not doing any. Keep on causing trouble, and I will react.

Have to agree with silverdale on this tho, cordner isnt setting fires this year, even tho he is captain, yeo or martin could slot in better there, and tyson frezell is consistent but not at his best this year
Yep agree on Cordner, just interested why he is so negative about the NSW side overall?

He isn't but he is captain and in a club side that finished 4th after being back to back premiers. So while I don't rate him it is hard to fault any selection

To be honest, In my view, it’s about getting the side that is going to win and if you stack a side with many players that have been successful together, there’s certain understandings and common knowledge that they share.

There’s probably less risk of a personality clash as the social order is more settled.

For the panthers this is more so, because there is a proven track record that they can combine well, because they’ve done it repeatedly, again and again. They know how each other can play, they know what each of them is capable of and then you get the instinct factor. There’s also trust.

I’m not really factoring in Queensland although in my view, they have the better coach. The bloke who killed a handy Roosters side because he can usually prepare a team (!)I hope he keeps coaching. I don’t care where.

If the roosters had won all those games, I would say the same the thing.

If nsw lose, we will have to resort to stacking Panthers. If Teddy fluffs things ( which he can do) you might want Dylan in this scenario. For the reasons above, not just stats and gongs etc.

That’s my submission. I could be wrong, but it makes sense to me that’s all.

Plus the whole Freddy show with his Lamas and getting nutrients from tarmac gravel via the big toe or whatever is getting a bit lame.

Silverdale, are you a Qld supporter?

When we holiday in qld, it’s all we can do not to to open the car window and dump the kfc bones and associated trash out onto the Gold Coast Hwy.

Almost got into a road rage scenario once with a chump last time in his Lancer. Just an exchange of fingers and horns.

As you know, that’s almost a friendly welcome by our Western Sydney standards.

He wants to tail gate me, we can all go 40 in a 100 zone. It was fun.

How will Big Game Nath go to night?

Lucky he is playing against a terrible QLD side and Keary will be the main playmaker

I will let Penrith fans vote on this

did Cleary choke worse tonight or in the GF?
