dykes was sh*t house, cant argue with the way it went hey guys

No you can't argue with the current coach & current Australian coach who thinks very different from Brandy.
People used to give Minni dally M points years ago when he first switched to fullback. Ricky however was non to pleased with minis performances because he wasn't playing how Stuart directed him. Something which helped turn mini into the great player he now is IMO.

Current Australian coach gave pass marks to both halves on Saturday night.

dykes & kearney continue to be the favoured play makers at the club.
That has got to hurt the Kimmorley supporters, who generally are Dykes & Kearney baggers.

If they are the favoured playmakers why is Noddy still in the team at halfback?

 

[millersnose]

because he is equal second in try assists in the nrl perhaps?

If they are the favoured playmakers why is Noddy still in the team at halfback?

So you didnt notice his diminished role on Saturday night?

Dykes was the dominant half out there. kimmorleys role is reduced to a few tackles to the right hand side by forwards & corner bombs & taking kicks for touch.
That is how they train & how it will continue until Kimmorley is out injured.

 

[millersnose]

Dykes was the dominant half out there.

yes

i just love how he 'dominantly' got smashed

 

[blacktip-reefy]

yes

i just love how he 'dominantly' got smashed

Due to pathetic kimmorley right to left "passes".

The backs will see even more ball once the coaches find a solution to that problem.

perhaps Degois Dykes on the left side or perhaps kearney / dykes.
its just good to know that after so many years of the problem being so evident, the coaches are now being pro-active & finding a solution.

 

[millersnose]

1 pass was off degois and 2 were off kingston when he got smashed
another was off gallen i think it was

he was caught flat footed when the rest of the team were in motion

 

[blacktip-reefy]

No, they were all off kimmorley. & that is how they trained, except kimmorleys passes find their mark at training.

i see where reefy is going with this
i have to admit i prefer dykes, he kicks better and runs deeper
kimmorley's second half kicking was sh*t house
i have noticed the path that we are going down that reefy is talking about
like reefy i have faith in ricky

 

[sladden road]

this is a good set to by the heavyweights..
im my less learned opinion it is obvious that when nod does not try to be so dominant the team performs better..when he has another player or players whio are able to create the. team attacks better..on sat night he had dykes and to a lesser the birdman...
maybe its what was not directly seen with ball in hand that was the equal cmponent of dykes work..
i too have some reservations about his game bit it is clear that with him in the team the team plays a style of football more suited to 2007 not the 99 style we use when nod handles 4 times a set and trys to do it all ala last week and most of the procedding 4 years..
for the record last year i believe that stus inablity to coach nod and nods constant overcalling of dykes nullified his usefullness and hence to the dont work togehter theory...
the rest is just semantics
although the devil is in the details

 

[jackal]

quality over quantity

a pair of halves will priovde this

rather than just the one dominant playmaker

1 pass was off degois and 2 were off kingston when he got smashed
