Other games

[WestyLife]

Other than the random definsive lapses pretty spot on..

It's weird for such a good defensive team but it happens randomly. They'll be on top then a moment to turn momentum then they'll be fine again.

 

[Chins get the wins]

They look ready to go and Walsh is the best player in the game on form right now. We certainly don't. Lots of little moments with errors, penalties or defensive lapses randomly.

Finals football is almost a different sport

Going back to last nights chat, Brisbane are a problem. They worry me. Reynolds mam and Walsh out the back playing behind haas, carrigan with staggs, Herbie etc on the edges. That’s a very talented footy team and they are consistent as hell this year.

Tonight, Laurie has a lot of talent. He will do well back in our system even being just a back up.

I'd bring Egan home if it wasn't for the head knocks

He could be a chance of 14.

Hed be a great super sub

People are kidding themselves if they don't think Brisbane are a massive threat.
Our triple crowning is hardly a fait accompli.

Lol Parra too.

They are our biggest threat but we are still miles infront

Miles ahead of the Tigers too. They still pulled our pants down.

I agree. I like him as the #14.

Glad you are back @Whino

Laurie having a blinder.

Just on Brisbane, one matchup that hasn't been mentioned is the coaches. Ivan has Walters covered big time.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Tigers would be a much better side with better Management. Going to be a long rebuild but they have some good Kids. Hope they keep em for NRL sake.

 

[John Hamblin]

Laurie 3 try assists and a try!!

 

[age.s]

Laurie was best on ground imo.

100%, he'll be good next season

Exactly...

Ive watched them closely all year.

A couple things worry me..

Haas is a freak..

Corrigan is a warrior... a stud..he grows a leg in big games... he leads the pack and team and he just is a world class player. Yeo is equal to him but brissie now have a player to really lead them..

Reynolds has the most consistent kicking game in the comp...

Walsh is the best player in the comp... at least in attack... he is unstoppable... its not about if he will score or set up a try... its when... if you can limit him to 6 or 12 points your doing ok.

The rest of their team believe... and this is the biggest thing... they believe...

Broncs last yesr and earlier this year were still finding there way..

Post origin players like walsh and carrigan know they can change a game.. the team goes with them.

CAN WE BEAT THEM??

Your damn right...

Id back us... but man... our attack needs to be better...

And most importantly... and i dont say this lightly... nathan needs to get his kicking game together..

Its a real trend that nathan has a gold game with the boot when the games in the bag and we are on top...

In a tussle he struggles.. and thats been proven in origin imo... he goes in to the bomg long and high and hope game...

Hes at his best when he takes a game head on... kick early.. mix it up. Long, short, high low...

If nathan plays his best... no one can beat us.. but hes not as solid and reliable as reynolds...

If reynolds ceiling is 85% he hits that every week...

Cleary in comparison hits his best every 4 or 5 weeks
