Foundation Cup Vs Roosters

[hybrid_tiger]

How did BMM go last week Hybrid ? Ive always seen him having potential but lacks desire to get involved enough.

He went OK but it's obvious he is lacking something right now when he plays FG.

His first stint was really good, and he had an excellent few touches including one great hit up where he dragged four players with him for about five meters.

He was quiet after this though. For mine he definitely needs to get more involved as I feel if he is switched on he could be a truly damaging weapon. Not sure how/why he doesn't get more involved and whether it is a mental issue or otherwise, but if he steps up I think he's going to be a great player.

He looks even bigger than last season, he is truly MASSIVE and was close to the biggest player on the field last week. Let's hope he stays fit this year.

5. Roosters
6. Tigers

If only we had Willie Mason. Then we'd show you.

Brocons, Titans, Sharks, Raiders and dare I say Souffs all have a better pack on paper than Tigers have.

I hate pissing contests about who has the better this and that, but on paper our pack is definitely one of the best in the comp IMO.

Souffs is a laughable suggestion: I would have both the Manly and Warriors packs ahead of them.

Really do like the look of Brisbane's pack (good mix of youth and experience). Canberra need a good hooker, as do Cronulla.

According to the WT website he is 112kgs, after what I saw of him last week I reckon their scales are crook........112kgs MINIMUM

So is Tedesco still the frontrunner for FB despite Sheens talking down his chances the other day?

 

[macnaz]

He is back this week, playing in the Reggies

Hmmm funny how Teflon mentions Brown is in contention for FULLBACK but not for wing or just NRL in general ?

Who would know.. The knob jockey makes up crap about players on a week to week basis.

"If he were a prize fighter..." I mean, what's all that about..? He's not even finishing his mixed metaphors anymore.

Where was that quote from NC ?

 

[N.C.]

I saw it in the Tele, SMH... and on the WT website.

The full quote is:

"If he was a young prize fighter, you wouldn’t want to throw him in the deep end to a great degree so we are going to have to be a bit careful there with him."

Lol. Yes NC another Teflon strange one.

I cant make the game tonight so if ppl could update as they did last week that would be great.

So what went wrong? It was only a trial match but giving away a lead as usual bothers me. Did we have our full strength side on the field in the back end of the game?

Mac, the game was a trial in its purest form, I think at one stage the roosters replaced all 13 players at once, it was comical. Tigers were the same, it was a revolving door. I don't think that they were totally committed especially on their own line. Most of the roosters tries came from close to the line.

On a positive note Tedesco is gonna be something, he is a gun.

It was a great night, great atmosphere and played in the right spirit.

 

[macnaz]

Pretty woefull crowd figures considering all the crying from the region wanting more games played there. Yes only a trial but we doubled that attendance last week In Gosford.

I was thinking the same... Figure reported in the Daily Tele is 7,426.

 

[azsportza]

The crowd was small, however the crowd at Gosford from what I saw being there seemed to be majority Parramatta fans.

 

[N.C.]

Or just league fans, az. There's a cohort on the coast who will turn up to Bluetongue no matter who is playing. Would've expected a similar story in Campbelltown, to be honest. But apparently not.

It was an average (as in usual) crowd for that type of game in Feb

 

[macnaz]

I wouldnt call it usual.. Well maybe for cambo, would have easily got well over 10k played elsewhere
