F@ck we were good tonight!

[Bigfella]

I reckon a big turning point might have been that soft try that Hayne let in just before halftime.

The timing was perfect, so that it could be used as motivation in the sheds. Hayne would have been cranky with himself, and with no-one else to blame might have committed to getting those points back for us - and more.

Funny no mention of all the soft burt errors that led up to all the tries we conceded.

I reckon he's Feleti Mateo without the running game. I don't rate him.

I tend to agree, he is a squad player in a top 4 team, but we aint a top 4 team so he looks good in our team.

 

[zipzip man]

I wouldn't be talking semis etc at the moment... I'd like to see the team back it up next game that wil do me for a start. The great win against the sharks will mean nothing if they go back to round 3 form. So many times in the past Parra will play a great game then come out a week later and play a stinker!

Blair will be an Origin centre one day.

I can't argue with that. He has the agro of Hodges and the defence of Cooper. He defensive reads last night were great. Loved the way he menaced his opp number. He's a long term centre now and Willie, Loko and Co will need to fight for the other spot.

Any comment on Poore's game last night SDM ? I thought he did well. Pre-empting you, I agree that he should have been playing like that for the past two years.

Yeah, he was rubbish, as per usual.

His stats say it all;

Tries = zero
Line Breaks = zero
Try Assists = zero
LBA's = zero
Post try celebrations = zero
Impersonations of a fat kid chasing the Mr Whippy Van = 8 for 73m

 

[Sphagnum]

Blair has hands like feet at the moment imo. I love the way he's been shutting down his opposition in defense though. The effort on Matt Cooper last week was outstanding. Just needs to work a little bit on his hands, mainly catching tough balls and he will be an even better asset for the team. Great effort by the Eels. Hopefully, they can keep this form going.

 

[forward pass]

Blair just keeps getting better and better, absolute Beast in defence tonight.

...and by the reaction of a few sharks players after Blair tackles - me thinks he might have a little bit of niggle in his game !!!!

two weeks before we beat manly we got hammered by 30 points to the cowboys and panthers and after that the tigers put 31 on us so i wouldnt be getting too far ahead of ourselves just keep the effort up

 

[zipzip man]

Yeah certainly been shining stars in a forgetable start to the season Chayse Blair and Matt Ryan... I've had a wrap on Ken sio from the first game I watched him play as well and he's another who just keeps impressing every week... add to that Loko to come back into the side we've got some decent backs to take us into the future.

 

[zipzip man]

in the two weeks after we beat manly we got hammered by 30 points to the cowboys and panthers so i wouldnt be getting ahead of ourselves

I agree, we just need to back it up next game after the bye

Good to see a young guy not afraid to take a backward step, our team has been too nice for too long.

dammit i knew someone was going to quote me before i changed it the manly win was after the cowboys & panthers losses not before lol

and i agree about backing up we haven't saved our season yet just earned 2 weeks of life support our condition is still critical

Love Blair's angry face. Bit like Lowry but he really niggles them.

Was thinking that he would slot into Hindys 2013 spot nicely.

But mate, we don't have a future while ever Kearney is coach.

[The Elephant In The room]

Do you reckon we can make a late charge into the finals again? I do.

Only need to win 10 from 12. I'd say its a certainty.
