Kimmorely at the Crossroads

[Inferno]

Whats are the odds he may stay on as part of the coaching staff when his playing services are no longer required SE?

 

[Jimbo]

They know he basically runs the team, but they respect him and rely on him. He does alot more behind the scenes that goes unnoticed.

Interesting

Thanks

Like to know what some are saying behind Kimmorleys back. How do you respect an ignorant egotist.
I said at the beginning of the season Kimmorley will not be our regular halfback at seasons end.

is that before the recent run of wins or current SLE?

I am sure it is not only the forum & the media who has picked up on the complete & obvious change in style that conicided with Dykes running the show.

What is BK going to do now that it is been made clear, that his ando ball style, does not work?

I am sure if he gets out there & plays like we haveall been asking him to for the last 3 years, nobody would begrudge him.

If hecomes back & we see that same flat shyte, hospital passes & intercepts, then I think he will even lose some moderates support.

waht do you think?

 

[fatshark]

Bks first game back, most probably will be average

 

[dreary]

I can't really disagree with anything you've said 73 I think he is at a cross roads, and needs to change.
I am a "moderate" in regards to Noddy I know how bad he was playing after SSO1 last year, however I also remember unlike some how well he was playing before it. He was the form HB in the comp (Johns was injured though) and was playing outstanding footy and it wasn't Ando ball it was deep play with kicks almost always finding space and the forwards rolling forward.

He has proved before he can play that style and he can play it outstandingly well. I think the problem is when under pressure such as SSO1 and trying to prove to the world afterwards that he is good, he goes back to his comfort zone. Ando ball it what comes naturally to Noddy and he seems to really struggle not to fall back into it when the pressure is applied.

I for one hope he has seen the light and comes back playing the style of footy we all want to see from him, if not then I really think his time may just about be up and i hope he likes warm beer, wet weather and soggy chips.

Injury has hampered him for some time now. If he comes back and can play fresh without injury, I hope he plays like he did early last year. He has played many great games for the Sharks, I think there a few left in him.

 

[Since 73]

In the games BK played this year we could not crack 20 points. Except for the game against Souths.

Since he's been injured we have been regularly hitting 30 and 40 points.
When Bk plays Vagana NEVER - I'll just repeat that - NEVER sees the ball and the only time Albert got a touch was when he backed up Simmons break against the Bronc.

Since BK's been gone Albert is flying high taking kicks out to his wing and Vagan is having a ball.
Also, I haven't seen Reece Williams get smashed for about 5 weeks. Funny that.

Yeah, Jimbo, I bet the guys love playing with him.

Kimmorley and Vagana are yet to play a game together this year. It's a bit hard for Kimmorley to involve Vagana when he's sitting in the grandstand...

Unless you think Vagana's injury is Kimorley's fault too?

 

[Macca]

Since 73 is a Noddy hater.

Bias will always ruin any argument.

I can tell you all that Kimmorley has been instructed to fit in to the way the team has been performing and NOT overplay his hand. In other words he has been put on notice that his style of play is over at the Sharks. Playmaking duties will be shared between the 7 & 6 & the 9 to a lesser extent. It will be interesting to see how this works out in his first game back.

 

[Inferno]

thats good to hear.

Sounds promising for when Dykes comes back as well. Will be interesting to see if it pans out that way.

Interesting comment, although I think you could say that about all RL teams.

If he changes his style of attack today does that mean he'll kick better in general play?

Seemed evident today Shintaro - especially in the first half.

Jimbo...vagana and Bk played a lot of footy together last year and vags was so frustrated he commented on the footy show, "..if Kimmorley ever passes the ball."

Macca...sorry son, wrong. I'm a fan of Kimmorely's. Have been since I saw the guy slaying teams with Hill and Ross at the Mariners.
But first and foremost I'm a Sharks fan. Heck I'm evn cheering Lance Thompson now cause he's in the Shark colours. Bk has been poor for us
the greatest evidence of how poor he has been has been the last 5 weeks.

 

[Bastard Squad]

Back to those predictable inside passes today, the Dogs hardly had to move to nail the ball recieve, and don't start me on his kicking game. :roll:

 

[Frailty]

Bastard Squad, Kimmorley has come back early from injury and those "predictable" inside passes got us a lot of ground around the middle of the field. When our forwards go forward they are effective. Don't have a go at Kimmorley for a team loss. By the way, Kearney's kicking game was much worse than kimmorley's.

 

[Inferno]

the forwards were fine today and matched it with the dogs.

The halves can only use the "forwards need to lay the platform" for so long. Noddy was very average today.
