channel nine news: dykes wants out

[MrSharky]

Yeah he's a class player, but he lacks the natural ability of others...

Dykes has natural ability...

 

[Alan Shore]

I am really confused and annoyed with this whole fiasco.

2002 we had Johns at 5/8th; in 2003/4 we have nuffies or players out of position in Bird, Mullane, Gallen, Hilder and some others, so it's complained that all the focus is on Kimmorley so there is no foil and he gets too much pressure placed on him. Now this year he needs to be allowed to dominate.

Seriously, WTF?

And even worse, we don't even have Peach anymore as a pseudo-5/8th.

 

[millersnose]

So you're a fan of the inside balls off every play?

except for the outside balls

What about the 25m drop outs?

what aboout the 50m drop outs

The intercept passes?

every ball player throws intercepts

The short hospital passes?

every half back throws em

There are so many things with Noddy's game it's not funny...

and dykes is the answer huh

Sure, on his day he is an absolute destroyer, but his formula is not premiership formula... This has to change...

let me count dykes premierships and rep games

i wont need many fingers and toes for this one...

 

[MrSharky]

Noddy also has very little instinct...

The difference between he and Joey:

Joey thinks of the play in 3 tackles' time...

Noddy thinks of the play he's pre-meditated in training 3 days ago...

This is sad but true...

 

[Quigs]

Ahhh on the good ship Venice,

By Christ, you should of seen us.....

Anyone close to the esky, can you pass me another one. I need it.

Cheers
Quigs

Millers even you will have to concede that great half backs have never been surrounded in so much disharmony, sackings & player club movements.

wtf?

maybe its jason stevens fault

But most of all, great half backs have never had such a predictable game & poor kicking game.

well he is the most succesful current shark

perhaps you are wrong

It seems with you, it always somebody elses fault, never Kimmorleys.

maybe its simmons fault reefy

maybe its peacheys fault

maybe all of them that make up the team plays a part

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Millers I will give you a tip free of charge.
Noddy has won his last premiership in 99.
He has played his last rep game.


Cronullas future lays elsewhere. Maybe not dykes, but definitely with a far more skillfull player than the rehearsed Kimmorley.
His job as I see it, is to bring some halves with skill through to first grade for the Sharks. We should be surrounding our halves around kimmorley at every opportunity & showing them the things he does right while emphasising all he things wrong in his game as well.

hahahaha
50 metre drop out BTW.
I remember that day, sort of like todays strength wind.

 

[i_Luv_Birdie]

just heard on 2gb he has been granted a release and is likely to link with souths on monday

 

[MrSharky]

And there with him goes 2006 and 2007...

Possibly the longest off-season ever?

kimmorley has runs on the board

dykes....well he has a history as well

hahahaha

its hard to remember good plays when you re so focussed on the bad

 

[blacktip-reefy]

I actually have about 10 games I watched at work where I measured his kicks. I thought I was going mad.
I'm not. I'm right.
He can't kick for f*cken shyte.
I know guys who can throw the ball further.
have a look how many times he kicked this year. 278.
Now lets aplly the business rule.
90% of his success comes from 10% of his kicks.
27 decent kicks this year & I bet anybody would have trouble remembering more than 10.

 

[MrSharky]

Tell me Millers...
Which one of these wins you premierships?

a) Higher number of Good Plays
b) Lower number of Bad Plays

Not to mention that the Sharks finished 15th (that's last) in the kick metres stats for the 26 round season proper. Kimmorley was the 4th most prolific kicker.

Easy analysis. He kicks a lot but makes no ground.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Well then captain, that must mean he gets repeat sets?
Oh no, thats right , nobody chases them.
That must mean we get a lot of trys of his bombs.
hang on, they mostly come off peach, Dykes or Sully.

Well at least his kicks for touch get us a long way down the field.

 

[millersnose]

where is this stat cap'n?

You also fail to mention we had the lowest completion rate, 66%, that means 34% of the time it never got to a kick. This is where the problem lies.

I'd rather kimmorely gain 30metres per kick off 3 kicks than 40m per kick off two.

 

[fatshark]

Has to be Greg Bird . i think he is best at 5/8. Has good defence as well. Thats were the problem is I think.
Cant be that Dykes doesnt like our plan as he has won a comp under raper years ago. And as for getting in Kimmorleys way...well the start of the year they were both on fire. just my opinion.

Yeah the forwards did drop a lot of ball affecting that completion rate.
Butthen again, does anybody how the ydidn't drop more.
Those runs off noddy are akin driving through fog with white lights.
Never know what is going to smash you.

 

[millersnose]

point conceded capn

although that stat doesnt directly give numbers for kicks he certainly was down in that department for about half the season
