Official Wentworthville Magpies Thread II

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon the majority of NRL fans would not rate Sandow higher than Robson, Wallace and Walsh.

That's because the majority of NRL fans are haters. They never rate players that don't conform to white Australian ideals of humility. They didn't rate Jarryd Hayne back when he was Dally M Player of the Year either.

I include Ricky Stuart in the majority.

I think Sticky is just pissed at Sandow's defence.

I'm not enamoured with little Arnold but put him behind a decent pack with a good halves partner and he can perform well for us next year.

I agree. In fact, I reckon behind a strong pack he's as good as any playmaker in the game. Behind a weak pack his lack of size is exposed in both attack and defence. He's that kind of player.

That's because the majority of NRL fans are haters.

Some NRL fans are haters, not the majority.

Poll the fans that aren't haters and I firmly believe that the objective view would be that Sandow and the other halves rate fairly evenly.

They never rate players that don't conform to white Australian ideals of humility

Yes, tall poppy syndrome is well known. However, I don't believe it a factor when it comes to Sandow. He is very humble and does not talk himself up to the media. He exhibits the same degree of humility as most players.

They didn't rate Jarryd Hayne back when he was Dally M Player of the Year either

This is a generalisation. There were a lot of superlatives written and spoken about Jarryd in 2009.

I think Sticky is just pissed at Sandow's defence.

I also don't imagine he is happy with some of his last play options either. However, I am sure that he would recognise that his job is made harder when the opposition defence is in his face.

[Gronk]

Norths have Tom & Luke Burgess, Dylan Farrell & Matt King playing.

 

[oldmancraigy]

So we're shoo-ins Gronk?

Can we get some close scrutiny of Manu Ma'u in this game please? Much as the chip roll appeals to me, I won't be there...

That's bullshit you f**king merkin and all my mates think so too.

Have we really got a bloke called Cecil playing the centres. I hope so that's great. Have to be a kiwi, surely.

Pritchard back in Wenty is interesting. Ryan also there. I wonder what the plan is this week with the interchange. Two Paulo's, Terepo and Allgood?

He is young Jarome's older brother. I'm pretty sure he isn't Kiwi lol.

Oh well. Almost as good as a bookie who used to frequent the Canberra races Cecil 'Cess' Tanks.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Most Cecil's that you come across are toothless wonders who are at least 70. It's good to see that there are some younger Cecil's coming through the ranks.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Have you met Cecil MacKenzie? How do you know he's not a 70 year old toothless wonder?

 

[strider]

Norths have Tom & Luke Burgess, Dylan Farrell & Matt King playing.

so you're saying they are ripe for the picking .... oh yeah!

 

[Noise]

Pfft, wenty have taniela lasalo. Coming off the bench!

It's true that NSW Cup is an open age competition.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Pfft, wenty have taniela lasalo. Coming off the bench!

I doubt anyone other than Lasalo will fit on our bench. He's become the quintessential (that's for you Chipmunk) fat merkin.

Anyone got a recent picture of the fat f**k?
