Baahahahaha so predictable you keep pushing your agenda little guy :D

What agenda is that Fanbase? Do you think it's an irrelevant question? One of our halves set up plenty of tries last week and you idiots went berserk. Is setting up tries unimportant now?

What's your agenda?

My agenda these days is to call out idiots like you. People were bagging your lover Kelly because he destroys our attack and has for years. Everything STOPS with Kelly when we are in a position to attack. But he your man so happy for you both.

Well that's what happens when you're forced to bring in a backup so often. Would you rather one with shitty attack or one with shitty defence?

Yeah, physically dominant but not smart enough for the edges. Maybe inside a strong defender like Foran he mightn't be a liability? Or maybe his role in first grade is in the middle? I'm sure we wouldn't have signed him if he didn't have first grade potential. As a backup, someone like Cody Nelson is more reliable.

Only you say cornish has worse defence than kelly. from what i have seen that is bull. Cornish much better in attack and no worse in defence. you say things like they are fact and you need to know they are only fact to you.

Well I've seen Cornish defend worse than Kelly. As a nuggety little bloke Cornish doesn't mind when they run straight at him, but out wide there's a lot of changes of direction, and you can't always just set your feet and get under the ball. You're expected to wrap the ball up with first contact and the midgets tend to struggle with that.

You have seen that? Ah it must be true then hey. In how many games? you know so you can make a fair assessment.
And i have seen kelly defend terribly numerous times and cornish defend well. Who has the more valid view?
You learnt the game from watching old videos I hear? yeah ok :sarcasm:

I think it was a fair accusation to level against Cornish coming into his tenure at Parra. He has obviously worked his arse on fixing it over the pre-season though as he has defended extremely well in the first two games.

Schulte did not seem to have any great anything.Speed-power-skill

Folau is doing all I want him to at the moment. Defending well within the shell of the left-edge, aiding his forwards in carting up the ball out of our half and taking his opportunities in the red zone (two tries in two weeks and his effort last week was quality).

He is very much a project and this is some of the best foundation quality footy he has shown to date. The hustle he showed to bulldoze Symonds (I think) in defence and then regather the ball was a huge check mark for him from where he has come from.

Schulte has been a disappointment at fullback. Really struggled to find relevancy throughout the game and has grassed some simple bombs. Will be glad to have either of Moss or French back there next week. Might leave Schulte in limbo though as you would be hard pressed to drop either of Faraimo or Tuha.

Would be good if he did. With his playmaking ability he is a potential first grader.

Your agenda seems to be to prove you are really good at playing the man not the ball and adding little value to these forums... good to see you have achieved it in less than 6 months and 200 posts.

Most of us took years to be that good. :roll:
