General Discussion Thread

[OldPanther]

I agree with @OldPanther on this one - Seibold was right in sticking up for his player (even if the criticism was deserved), but to throw another player, from another team, into the firing line was the absolute wrong way to go about it.

Exactly. I admire the loyalty just not how he did it.

The comparison was on runs/metres gained last weekend in relation to press coverage.

If Seibold was asked a follow up question: 'Do you believe Darius is as good as Luke Keary?'...then this wouldn't even be a story. Seibold would freely admit who is better and the Roosters wouldn't have an opportunity to have a cry.

And I'd bet Keary isn't actually upset. It's just a smokescreen for Tedesco. And a bit of muscle flexing because the Broncos are shit and they don't want to antagonize the Storm too much right now.

Yes he is comparing the running stats of his player who's been highly criticised for the last 2 years to a half who had 6 weeks out recently with bad concussion and should be expected to be way down on usual.

Put it this way. I'd be extremely surprised if Luke Keary is remotely upset by his comments. There was nothing in it and even if there was you need a thicker skin to play NRL.

The fact Keary blew up about it suggests that he is pissed. 'I don't care what he thinks' is very unsubtle code for stfu.

That, or it's a distraction for something else.

I haven't seen Keary's comments on it so no idea with that part.

It's official.

Luke Keary:

“I don’t really care to be honest. It’s a little bit odd. I don’t know him, I’ve never spoke to him.

“I don’t care what he says. I don’t care what he thinks.”

Cooper Cronk referred to Keary as an 'angry ant'. That is far more disparaging and they probably aren't on speaking terms anymore.

Baz...

Granted we need to sort our attack. But is Barrett the answer?

 

[franklin2323]

Seibold doesn't make the comments if they are flying. He is clearly using it to fire the team up. He like most people would take Keary as 5/8th in a heartbeat

Fff

Sounds like a typical media beat up

He is just trying to fire up Boyd.

I think he told him to double his efforts for tonight's game to 2 run metres......

If only our hookers could match that...

 

[franklin2323]

There is Blake summed up. Scores a try then gives away a penalty. Then backchat to release the pressure

 

[TheFrog]

Naden might be a hog but he hasn't blown 2 certain tries like Elliott has

Damn close tonight and then the Broncos showed how it was done. Thus was the match turned.

 

[panther.mike]

Naden blew 3 tries [ 1 each week]

 

[unKwn]

great

 

[Tronald Crump]

great

No surprise Rothfield is in the thick of it.
In his case the shit attracts the big blow fly.
