3-2-1 v Broncos

[Penrose Warrior]

As for tonight..

3. RTS. Massive. Huge influence from the wing
2. JFH. Noticeable how he stepped up
1. Egan. He's so tough

Far too harsh on Ford, some people. He wasn't great tonight but he's been in our top 5 players all year

 

[Meth]

Next week:

1. RTS 2. TT 3. Berry 4. Capewell 5. Pompey 6. CHT 7. Boyd

next week Bye, right?

Too harsh? This forum might as well be Ford’s personal fan forum. He could run out there and lay a massive dookie on halfway and 80% of this forum would praise him for it.

Lol hardly, he cops a top of shit when he’s bad. Ford is what he is, a smallish, mobile middle with a big motor who’s effective if he can keep the error/penalty rate down and if he doesn’t get outmuscled by a particularly big pack. Both of those factors went against him him today, not helped by a couple of sketchy refereeing calls.
He’s also consistently better off the bench, which is on Webster more than him. Leka should’ve probably started and Niukore probably shouldn’t have played at all. I think we’d have got better value out of Bunty today.

Ford is a depth player talent wise with a low ceiling. He was poor today.

Right- so our game plan is to not play against teams with muscle in the middle.

 

[Meth]

I mean, I’m not particularly down on Ford here. He just isn’t what he isn’t. We need Barnett and he isn’t him.

well our game plan doesnt revolve around jackson ford but yes, he is less effective against those teams.

If this forum had a view of Ford that was this realistic he’d have about 10% of his current 3-2-1 points.

 

[Big Marn]

Barnett, and maybe now CNK, and Metcalf. Is this team not allowed to have nice things?

I am. I’m happy to take on the mantle of number 1 Ford hater. Things have gotten out of hand.

haha it got to the point where I don’t want to be that guy.

But I guess what I am saying there is that my issue is more with Webster’s stubbornness. Granted, we just don’t seem to have a ready replacement for Barnett, but Ford isn’t it and neither is Niukore.

 

[Meth]

Maybe it’s Vaimauga?

Disagree, but that's sweet.

Oh is it, probably required to be honest
