I could click on 'watch on youtube' but I'm over age.Nice work @King-Gutho94
Loved PJ Marsh. He had the heart of a lion.I remember that too. It was hilarious. His teammates run in to help and our fullback simply picked up the ball and ran in under the posts.
Even funnier was the Dragqueens kicked the ball over the dead ball line after the restart.what a game that was!! McKinnon and Morrison outstanding and a young Benny Smith announcing himself in first grade. So many great memories from that 2005 side..
One thing about those two that plenty of merkins overlook is how many toilers they have. Their effort areas are well ahead of most other teams, and this is obviously what makes their defence so good. However it is also a major reason their attack looks so fluid: decoy and support runners.Storm and Panthers are just two excellent sides.

Looks like the 2s celebrating with the 1s. Good to see.How good is Reedy. Busted but still just as pumped for the team song.
I thought it looked sad .... but it wouldn't tell me whyI've sworn at your tv as well.
What an f'n grub. King hits PJ twice yet nothing.I found it on youtube
Jake's godfather ffs.Possibly he and BA are best mates
I just think our attacking structures are poor and won't bother the top sides, even BA's biggest fans have to agree we could be doing so much better in the assistant coaching department. So many sets today where it was slow block play after slow block play and then a settler to get back into the middle of the field to set up for another slow block play.
I'd argue we have the most tries scored off kicks, the top sides will defuse and nullify Moses kicking game so much better. We'll see where we really are in a couple of weeks i suppose.
I reckon we'd have the most scored off midfield bombs, or at the least the most restarts off same, but then that's one of Moses' great strengths, some of those kicks are just phenomenal.I just think our attacking structures are poor and won't bother the top sides, even BA's biggest fans have to agree we could be doing so much better in the assistant coaching department.

I agree that there is plenty of room for improvement (as there is for most sides), but I don't get the level of criticism.
Do we actually have the most tries scored off kicks (serious question)? I guess that is possible. But it's not as if we aren't scoring heavily otherwise.
It’s odd that tries off kicks by us are seen as a negative by some, however Nathan Cleary is applauded by causing the most line dropouts. Isn’t a line dropout a failed try attempt off a kick ?heard or read somewhere, that we do have the most tries off kicks this season. As we did a few years ago too.
