Anzac Match 2013

[Slippery Morris]

Should be a cracking game. These games always are. I hope it is ruined by poor ref decisions.

Great record for Soward. Hope it continues.

[The Enforcer]

The Roosters look pretty good at the moment and should be a tough test for the boys.Nightingale to score a double to just get us home.

So is the army going to be sitting at the northern or southern end this year?

Definitely a huge emotional game, I reckon we will get up emotionally, Sowie will kill it.. my fear really is just 1 or 2 brilliant pieces of play from a SBW or a Jennings or a Maloney etc..

Jennings is a player I never rated, and whether its just a novelty for his new team being on a high and all I dont know.. but his speed is a real problem if he gets loose.

Im assuming our team will be the same as last round, Flo @1 and Vidot @5... Havent heard a word about Rangi so we can assume no late inclusions on that front.

Cook in there agin hey?

Cook in there agin hey?

I like Cook being there, the more experience he gets the better. I hope, however, that it's not an indication that we may not have Rein next year...

Still think Drinkwater should get the nod for the bench spot though.

 

[Godz Illa]

I like Cook as the bench hooker, over Drinkwater at least. Hopefully he gets more minutes this week - Rein was poor v Tigers

 

[dragonv]

Story with weyman anyone?

 

[Elias1983]

I'm guessing he is close to returning and is a chance this week...

as always price will his cards close to his chest until game day.

Poor? Disagree completely - the kid made one error and was a bit tired off the back of 80 mins against the knights - you did not mention his couple great off loads and cracking defense did you? So ridiculously harsh it's (kind of) humorous. The minute Rein re-entered the field the team regained direction that they lost - Cook is clearly many leagues below Rein and indeed King. I would prefer drinkwater on the bench.

Story with weyman anyone?

- grew up in moruya
- raiders junior
- nicknamed 'horse'
- signed with dragons 2009
- made state of origin and Australian rep whilst with us
- gets injured a lot
- moruya has a statue of him in the main st
- punches above his weight with his missus
- has a premiership ring but doesn't remember winning it
- his favourite band is nickleback

 

[Cagey Mac]

Rein was up against Farah and did okay for the 3/4 of the game that he played
One error and 36 tackles ain't bad for the kid
I think that you were a bit harsh too Godzy

I agree, that video is brilliant. I need a copy of that...

Rein took some terrible options, and his service from dummy half at times was worse than Dean Young quality (I loved Deano btw). The offloads are nice, but from memory they were both thrown after being slow out of the ruck and being caught by markers.
He's a quality dummy half but he can't play the 80 - I agree the Knights game affected him - which is why I want Cook to get more than the 12 minutes or whatever it was against the Togers

Now which Rein are we talking about here Godz Illa? The slack one on Santa's slay, or the one that has been putting in a whole hearted performance for our team, week in week out, far above what he should have to do?

In Rein, I see an old fashioned boots and all, no frills, honest hooker, who is carrying our team, whilst our show pony (King) is on R&R.
