Best Winger Under the High Ball?

[Johns Magic]

Luke Rooney is the best in the league.

Karmichael Hunt has been brilliant under the high ball this year. I can't remember him ever dropping one. He would be the best of the Broncos.

.

What about Stuart Kelly? :lol:

What about Dustin cooper?

Rooney and Lewis, two of the best i've seen this year and last.

Its a shame Lewis is now in the centres, but Roberts is reading the play very well this year.

Apart from that Joel Monoghan very good.

Eric Grothe Junior very good

Brett Stewart has also impressed me on occasions.

 

[Southern Rooster]

I can. He had a shocker of a game under the high-ball late last year. I can't think who it was against though. I suspect Newcastle.

Ahh of course the game against Newcastle last year. That memory has been successfully repressed, thus foiling any attempts at recall. Therefore, in my mind his standing among the high-ball catchers remains, despite the apparent fact that he had an all-round crap game that day.

Was that his first grade debut ?? I have a feeling it might have been.

Lockyer?

Lockyer has always been brilliant under the high ball, but he hasn't had to catch one all year.

You sort of get that when you're defending at 5/8th. :lol:

Henry Fa'fili is not bad either.

He was amazing under the bombs in 2001-2002. Hasn't had much opportunity on attack since though.

Absolutely. There has not been a better attacking take of a high cross field bomb than the one Henry Fa'afili took against Manly in 2001 at Ericsson. Un-freakin-believable. He practically used the other wingers shoulders as a jumping board.

His take against Jamal Lolesi in last years semi was good, but it was absolutely nothing in comparison to THAT take against Manly. Best...ever.

Do you guys even watch the game? Rooney was the one that gave the game to Queensland when he tryed to look spectacular and take the ball above his head in Origin two all to give Dane Carlaw an easy try. He also was the result of a Dragons try this year when he had no pressure on him and dropped a sitter. Simon Phillips is the best winger under the high ball. Barely any of you will know who he is because you are Sydney-centric.

 

[Iafeta]

I thought it was Timana Tahu?

 

[RenoufPhan]

Yea, that was Tahu that dropped the ball for the Carlaw try. Not Rooney.

No his debut was a few weeks prior to that, against the Warriors at Kogarah.

 

[Alan Shore]

If we count fullbacks, nobody beats Peachey the Frequent Flyer!

 

[Mayor_Quimby]

Chris Hicks and Brett Stewart are very reliable!

 

[Raider_69]

ill throw in a name

Jamaal Lolesi
raider fans remember foundly some of the magical takes he brought down at the raiders, he gets up on position and gets a fair amount of height for a little bloke

i dunno how he has gone this year, havnt really watched him with as much focus

 

[Raider_69]

But its j.monnas for me, he is tops 8)

 

[The Colonel]

Brett Anderson - young 17 yr old from Parramatta is going to cause problems in the future. The other week against Manly he was almost able to stand on Hicks shoulders - he did knock the ball on but he was trying to play it back.

Monaghan, Richards and Grothe Jr being tall men have a good advantage.

Mattie Petersen - despite his other deficiencies at times troubles the opposition at times.

 

[Milty]

El Masri does pretty well for a short guy

 

[Tupac Shakur]

Young Brett Stewart

He is fullback isn't he?

Luke Rooney, Luke Lewis, Joel Monaghan and Amos Roberts are the ones i can think of that are good under the high ball.
