If you merkins didn’t choose to whinge all week you wouldn’t look like f**ken idiots when we win. You’ve put yourself in this position, not me. Maybe next week we’ll lose and then you can go back to crowing.

Ur not on ignore

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Nice summary and thanks for the Easter wishes. These Dingos always forget.

I thought you were joking about being Serbian.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Nope.

Fair enough.

 

[Suitman]

How much confidence should we have in a backup?

You tell us.
Your'e the f**king expert.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And how many reserve grade games have you seen live Ruan?

Are they different than the ones on telly?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But nowhere good enough for first grade, where does that leave him?

A backup, like he is now?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Melbourne didn’t have an off day we beat them good.

lol of course. When we win it's because we're great and when we lose it's because we were bad. The opposition has nothing to do with it.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Who you talkin' to Pou?

The merkins who celebrate when we lose.

 

[Avenger]

I thought you were joking about being Serbian.

I thought you were joking about being Indian.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Its possible. He was in the 17 when Opacic was named

Opacic doesn't cover the halves.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought you were joking about being Indian.

Native American ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ur not on ignore

Well maybe I fucekn should be did you ever think about that ffs!?!?

 

[hindy111]

Opacic doesn't cover the halves.

Either does Jake thou......Opacic could of done what he did today. Pass ball.....

Reality is our forwards where as dominant as could be. And JA was given heaps of time to do what he wanted. He has no zaz

 

[84 Baby]

Just finished watching game.
Simonsson might actually be a good player. He showed really good late footwork on his kick returns. If he continues that, it’ll make a massive difference.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You tell us.
Your'e the f**king expert.

We should expect them to provide value for whatever they're getting paid. Do you reckon Arthur's is on big money? Should he have taken a few more runs instead of Dylan Brown?

I’m never happy when my team, I’m sure you’ve noticed

 

[84 Baby]

And I’m over Jrthur. I’m sure he’ll be ok player and if he basically needs to play like today, so be it. But he’s horribly out of sync with the rest of the team, either too flat or too deep

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Either does Jake thou......Opacic could of done what he did today. Pass ball.....

Arthur doesn't just catch and pass. He makes the right pass to the right merkin under the game plan. He even knows when to take the tackle. His one poor decision was to pass forward to Lane when the runner out the back was covered. He should've taken the tackle. Opacic probably doesn't have the brains for the halves. It's not like he plays centre because of his speed and power.

Reality is our forwards where as dominant as could be. And JA was given heaps of time to do what he wanted. He has no zaz

You don't really need zaz from a backup. That's the point. They're not supposed to come in and become a key part of the game plan. You're confusing them with 90s style impact players.

 

[hineyrulz]

The Knights let us play much better than the Tigers did.

We love dominating sides that are passive in defence and throw SFA at us in attack. Flat track bullies!!!!
