Ranking the 5/8ths

This thread is proof of how far the quality of this forum has fallen.

If player X doesn't play for one's team then they're utter dogshit apparently.

Its actually "five-eighth" - because he played between the half and the threequarters. 3/4 = 6/8, 1/2 = 4/8, so in between is 5/8.

JT
Carney
Maloney
Foran/Widdop
Campo
Sutton
Mullen

Foran and Sutton play like forwards. I love Foran's toughness, and he gives Matai god service. Yet, for all Manly's sparkle, they found it hard to score points. Maloney didnt so much have that problem, and Carney did ok with a lesser team. Widdop is on the verge of breaking out. Campo has always been class. Sutton a ball playing lock and Mullen will die as an under-developed talent.

Carney, Widdop and Maloney stand out as the traditional pivots. JT has too big a profile to be a typical 5/8 because unless he's playing with Cronk, no half will run a side if they have JT next to them.

I'll go along with that

Foran plays with the toughness of a forward but plays very traditional in the way he takes the ball to the line and is willing to take a hit.

When Pops is agreeing, you know youre wrong.

You know what's no longer cool? When people type 'end thread' to emphasise their opinions.

JT - best all round
Mullen - best defense and all round kicking game
Carney - good kick, creative
Foran
Maloney- if he was'nt sucking Pearces dick wouldnt get a look in at SOO level ( I would say these days he doesnt BBQ alone but has little Mitch come round regularly )

 

[Billythekid]

That's crazy mate. For an arguably toughest SOB out pound for pound and he's just as creative as DCE. DCE good when things are going his way, will rarely create when on Blackfoot like JT and Foran.

This is straight up bullsh*t. If anything when manly get behind DCE is their go to man, he always seems to pull something out of the hat. I like Foran and he's a good player but he wouldn't look nearly as good if it wasn't for DCE.

So Pearce is shit, the worst halfback in the comp .. and Maloney is a dogshit 5/8 who does nothing well.

Geez, not a bad effort to win the Minor Premiership and Premiership with the worst halves in the comp!

Especially when no halves pairing tallied as many tries, try assists, line breaks and line break assists combined.

Oh come on , behind that pack I would of got the Dally M player of the year and toured with the Roos.

Stick em behind the Eels pack and then see how they go. True champion such as Johns or Thurston today would still carry the team , players like Pearce and Malony are pretenders and SOO showed them to be just that.

Lol what is with club loyalists defending even their shittest players? See this just weakens all your pro-SBW arguments, because now we know you're just a knob who will defend all roosters players to the death, to the bitterest of bitter ends.

When my club has a shit player I'm actually more critical of them than if they're on a club I couldn't give two shits about. If someone is even slightly overrated on the club I support I'll tear into them.

Maloney and Pearce are shit, pick your battles, this is a losing one, let it go.

[umina panther]

Will be playing behind the best forward pack in his career so maybe he'll return to 2010 form
