Most pleasing part of his game, he is even starting to put a few shots on.Zero missed tackles tonight,
Good one Merkin!! So it's you and Basils fault????Me too on all points
When did you ever get to feel Tim Smith???I like him, but he has a Tim Smith feel about him to me.
It was also the year of the gang tackle which Sticky perfected.It's complicated and happened a while ago, but if I remember correctly, the ten metres was judged from where the ball was picked up by the dummy half (instead of where the tackled player played the ball). This brought the defensive line closer, which led to a rapid change in defensive tactics that allowed teams to compress and get numbers into the tackle. It was very hard to get the ball around this sort of defence. There was also a change where teams could start moving up sooner than they previously had. This might've been related to the bloke playing the ball rather than the dummy half or maybe I'm misremembering.
The important point is that the NRL changed a rule definition rather than a rule, in response to the up-and-dump touch footy style tactics that Brian Smith perfected in 2001. This is why we have the record for points scored in a season. This change had a huge effect on the way teams defended (up-and-in replaced the slide defence), and thus on the way they attacked. This seemed to make significant changes to how valuable some players were, and many of ours went from stars to mere first graders. Huge forwards suddenly became more valuable again.
The surrender tackle had a big effect too but I think it was brought in a few years later.

As I mentioned in the game thread shout out to Avenger he called Moses as our the man we should chase 12 months ago.
He called it and was 100%
Buy him a watch???Avenger will blow his load if he sees this post. Imagine if Moses was a Serb what he'd do???
When's the last time you ever heard of a Maronite with a mental illness? Their biggest issue is usually that they're mummy's boys, and that never stopped anyone playing good footy.
I see, you're only 6 months old though right?I only started following the Eels this year
Well I do cry at the drop of a hat and soil myself constantly...I see, you're only 6 months old though right?
We are all Serbs deep down. Still can't believe Suity is one.Avenger will blow his load if he sees this post. Imagine if Moses was a Serb what he'd do???
not that hard to do against usZero missed tackles tonight,
No one on here can get close to Mr 85%We are all Serbs deep down. Still can't believe Suity is one.
Anyway thanks hineyrulz I'm just tryng to get to 85%, Sitting on about 50% now.
I knew I was on a winner when Sterlo bagged him. His record is worse than anyone of us here.
Although I rated Moses based on his 2016 form for The Tigpies, I was very disappointed we didnt secure Widdop.Most pleasing part of his game, he is even starting to put a few shots on.

Widdop was my preferred option as well, i still think he would of worked well with Norman but Moses has been a masterstroke.Although I rated Moses based on his 2016 form for The Tigpies, I was very disappointed we didnt secure Widdop.
Wrong again Gazza. Great call Veng.

WTF is a Maronite?
