Raper struggling.

[blacktip-reefy]

Did I say that? You idiot.

 

[pogo]

i guess you would like to refute you have done nothing but bag him for the entire season???

i notice it wasnt bird that missed the most important tackle of the night on saturday, late in the game!

 

[millersnose]

i am sorry reefy

but i cant resist

that backflip on bird coupled with the backflip on kent all in an effort to bag kimmorley was priceless

when bagging kimmorley you will always have 2 enemies

1. reality

2. the bleeding obvious

@ Millers

 

[blacktip-reefy]

dont confuse bagging Millers.

I dont bag kimmorley the person or the player.

I will critique a player or any person involved with the Sharks that does not earn their money.

for 450K per year, I expect Kimmorley to be perfect.
No missed tackles is a bit too much expect for his size but I expect perfect commitment to defense.
I expect every kick to be perfect.
I also expect great vision & ability to put the team in the right position, every time.

Right now, Kimmorley is earning 2/3 of his money. 1/3 is to be made up by improving his defensive game & kicking game.
1/3 of $BK = 2X $jason kent.

 

[millersnose]

my mathematics are much simpler reefy

kimmorley = great halfback

kent = borderline first grade winger

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Well then that makes the last few weeks matches even more impressive doesnt Millers.
If the team can get so close with a border line winger at the helm for his first 4 matches at halfback, then a win against any of the remaining games with Kimmorley at half back is a certainty.
Anything less is a disaster.

 

[millersnose]

impressive?

the game against the broncs was good

the drags we were awful

the bulldogs we were mediocre

the knights and warriors we were mediocre

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Hmm but witha bordrline winger at the helm, the rest of the team must have carried us to the 2 victories & got us close each time over the last few weeks.

We were mediocre, perhaps worse. But we were still in their swinging at the death on each occasion.
Kimmorley said himself, we would have won with him out there.

Time to earn the money.

 

[millersnose]

we were playing well but failed to win

a better halfback - one of international standard - and one that led the try assist stats - could certainly have made the difference

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Not could.
Should.
Will.

All else is failure.

 

[millersnose]

as we had with kent at half?

 

[Isurus]

kent = borderline first grade winger

Not a bad try in tight for a borderline first grade winger. I reckon Kent is doing well considering he hasn't played halfback before. When he went off injured and Bird had to play halfback, I thought we looked very disorganised. In saying that, Bird is certainly playing well at 5/8.

Still, I can't wait for Kimmorley to come back. I really believe that the Bulldogs and Broncos games would have been wins with him on the field.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

why are you comparing a $60k 5 game halfback to a $450k 200 game half back?

The only comparison that can be done is surely only a one way affair.

why not compare

that is the issue is it not

or perhaps you think kent swapped with kimmorley against the broncs would have made no difference?

 

[chili pepper]

We compare them reefy because they have been our 2 halves this year (or has Aitken played as well?).

No I believe we would have won.
So if we dont win next time he plays, it is a disaster.
A 390k disaster.

 

[millersnose]

ok reefy

and if easts loose their next game does that make fitler a disaster?

or if the bronvs loose their next game does that make lockyer a disaster?

i remember newcastle loosing with johns in their side does that make kohns a 400k disaster?

 

[blacktip-reefy]

To make this even easier for you, BK wont play against the Rorters.
If he comes back this year, I think it will be Parra earliest, more likely after the bye.

 

[chili pepper]

Then I'd say it is highly unlikely that we can beat the chooks this week with Kent at half.
