Nigel Crocker!!!!

[blacktip-reefy]

I'm glad he had that one for NZ & not for us!!

 

[SirShire]

Yeah.

How man fuggen knock ons did he have? He was out of position most of the time too.

Thank god we have players that can swap around and play fullback unlike Vags.

 

[Anonymous]

Same. I guess that's why he's not a fullback.

Just hope it doesn't affect his confidence.

 

[chili pepper]

I was gonna post the exact same comment reefy.

Should be good for us imo.

he will be bloody determined to make amends tomorrow.

Besides he was playing in an unfamiliar position - he will be glad to return to the centres for us.

Also good to see Caylass injured and Hindmarsh playing majority of the game.

Feeling very confident of a good win tomorrow.

 

[Genius Freak]

May as well get his crap run out of the way tonight. He's not a fullback or general play kicker, but luckily tomorrow night he won't have to be.

 

[NthCronullaLocal]

Yeah Noddy's kicking game is looking pretty good compared to Vagana's. No competition there.

The test tonight may have just turn things in favour of us with Cayless's concussion and Hindmarsh's heavy workload.

Lets hope Vagana is primed for a big one tomoro. He should be better for tonights run anyway. Surley his performance will on improve from tonights effort.

 

[Alan Shore]

As long as he plays alot better for us when he backs up in 18 hours.

 

[SirShire]

That kicking game was pretty game woeful!

Sonny Bill Williams and Joe Galvauo were good for the Kiwis though.

Tomorrow night should be gold!

 

[markstan]

Funny thing is he probably played better than his opposite number. God Minichello played terrible to, both full backs were out at sea.

 

[Sheros los Deros]

Nah, Mini scored a try at least.

I don't think he should have much trouble backing up after that. he played a shocker, but he hardly wore himself out.

 

[DJDL]

I was stoked with his performance.
A guy of his calibre rarley hands in two shockers in a row. Throw in a light workload and I'm thinking he'll be good tomorrow.

 

[shadowboxer]

he shouldnt have even been out there, 2nd game of the season and they throw him in at half back. AS you say he cant have two shockers in a row.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

How average is minicello!!!
FFS!
The guys can run I'll give him that, but thats where the ability & skill level finish.
If he ever loses any pace either through age or injury, he is finished.
Just another example of why the likes of Webb, Peach, Bowen et eal are twice the player Minni is.
they have the same speed but all have fantastic creative ball playing game as well.
In particular Webb who I can't rate highly enough.

 

[matty_4040]

theres no way that vags is gonna play the full 80 for us today, so who will take his place when he wants to come off?? for mine mcgoldrick shoulda been on the bench for today.

 

[cheese]

naa no need for goldy .....big gall can slide across

 

[Special K]

Vags wasn't as bad as Joel 'yokel' Clinton. What was he doing on the field? #-o

 

[Bastard Squad]

Oh I was laughing, no way can he play that badly 2 games in a row, but he sure aint a fullback !

I could forgive him that first knock-on, that Winger got his legs in the way, and I did like his kick-catch-kick that Mini knocked on, but that was the only highlight in a very poor game for Nig.

 

[Macca]

In hindsight, his performance begs the question as to why they would pick a centre who, has only played one game this year, out of position. Crazy. By Nigels standards thats probably the worst performance a fullback has ever produced.

I can see you point on Minichiello, Reefy. The guy is a superb finisher but he gets in the way sometimes. No creativity in him. Very rarely passes. Billy Slater is the same. I'd prefer Peachey to him but I am just as biased as you there. Webb, no thanks. I think Wesser is the next best. He is creative as well as fast.

 

[imasharkie]

I didn't bother watching the australian broncos play, I see and hear enough of them now. "Wayne Bennett had no imput into the team" :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[millersnose]

having said all that peachey had a little shocker himself tonight
