Rnd 4 Team List vs Manly

[lucablight]

Yeah I think Stone is unlucky to be dropped. It’s a huge risk because there’s no recognised backup hooker in the team. Personally I think one of Terepo or Taikarangi should have made way.

 

[Gary Gutful]

He sunk.

 

[84 Baby]

Given BAs preference to play his named 17, I’d hazard a guess there might be an injury or something

 

[Bazal]

Stone suits the new tempo of the game.

But Oregon deserves a run. Penis the Terrible, not so much

 

[Incorrect]

Stone, in limited minutes last week, hit very hard and forced a couple of changeovers. I watched the replay last night. His dummy half service is rubbish though. Taka, and I've watched him closely when passing from dummy half, is quite good in comparison.

I like Ray Stone's intent, but if he's competing with Taka, the question becomes, what's more valuable - dummy half service or defensive intent (and mistakes)...

Ideally, we win the comp without either of them!! Lol!

 

[Gary Gutful]

They are both plop. We should have a team without back up players.

Our f**ken reserves should be f**ken origin players! And fat, ffs!

 

[strider]

He sunk.

Like a rock

Hence the term, Ray.

Id be surprised if Taka was an injury replacement for Reed. BA has shown a preference for using Drown and or Gutho in that role. Given Stone was the stated replacement for Reed after his injury, his relegation this week is surprising. At least Will Smith hasn't been resurrected.

 

[Kornstar]

Manly are big and aggressive, i can see why BA is going with more size.

 

[Happy MEel]

Reed unequivocally proved last week he is more than capable of delivering a quality 80 minute performance (despite BAs claim he would be under done). I’m glad we’re not providing cover for him but agree Stone is worth more than Penis as a bull terrier around the ruck.

Did you see us last week? We’re big and agressive...which is a nice bloody change.

 

[Gronk]

How big is Oregon?

Taka [rightfully] cops a lot of criticism, but his talents (and skill with the ball) are quite rare.

I guess the problem with Taka is that he's just as likely to pop a magic offload, leading to a try, as he is to miss a simple, game-losing tackle (or force a bone-headed, game-losing offload).

But I like his size, and power, and - dare I say it - his on-field experience.

Stone will play plenty of First Grade in 2020.

 

[Gary Gutful]

How big is Oregon?

I remember learning how to calculate the area of a hexagon, pentagon and an octagon, but I don't remember doing it for an oregon.

Our pack is on par size wise, but I’m happy to see a big bench too.

 

[Gronk]

I reckon there are points down the edges through their centers and wingers. Hold them in the middle and shift it.

Hopefully Sivo has been told that if he gets in the clear just f'n hammer it.
