Round 10 Panthers V Storm

[billypilgrimnz]

Glad Taylan May is doing well - much prefer him to Staines.

May against Storm last night:
Runs: 18
Meters: 141
Post-Contact Meters: 55
Tackle Busts: 7

Staines in his two games against the Storm combined last year:
Runs: 16
Meters: 92
Post-Contact Meters: 21
Tackle Busts: 3

Tackle efficiency cannot be compared because May only made one all night.

Now, of course, we struggled with injury last year in the two games against the Storm, so the comparison is not exactly fair, but I don't see a way back for Staines unless May's form falls off a cliff (which can happen, of course, because he is young).

Edit: named the wrong f**king brother

I love watching Taymay. The thought of both him and To'o as our long term wingers really does get the blood flowing.

 

[DinkyDi]

Aliceinwonderland and DinkiDi are two of the prime reasons I do not post on here much anymore. I cannot stand the incessant moralizing over what can and cannot be said regarding the team. The ignore function only does so much, because you still have to log through all the replies to them.

There was no need to bring my name into this. You appear to be a narcissistic piece of human waste.

May looks lost lost at sea when a ball isn’t straight down his throat, so I don’t think it’s as clear cut as you make it. He’s also playing on a much more efficient edge at the moment. Put Staines on that wing and I think it’s a much closer fight.

In saying all that… you’re probably right.

I was missing game threads when they were on ignore as well.

More than worth it.

Just watch the thread. When someone posts it tells you

 

[BxTom]

Like I originally said last week. He needs to play well like against the Storm to get away with it BUT it will cost in close games if he's not careful. Dropping players who aren't involved in the play isn't the kind of niggle that's necessary though.

JFH has dropped the ball in at least two games this year, that could cost in a close game too. But, alike Luai, the benefits of JFH certainly outweigh the downside.

The 17 surely locked in now. Only thing that stopped 50 or 60 last night was penalties or errors.

 

[Old and Disgruntled]

The antiStaines brigade should look closely at some of the "Elite" wingers ie. X.Coates, Alex Johnstone ,JAC , their work rate is non existent in comparison.
If Charlie was snapped up by the Storm and became a world beater, the usual suspects would then bag the club for letting him go. Be content with what we have.

 

[Whino]

We did what we should have against the Storm missing a few. Won well. Still room for improvement and a little tinkering but happy with the win.

Different styles.

We are best with big bodied back 5 getting us out of our half

I agree. If your pissed off at me, have a go at me. Don't bring Di into it.

Well said. In fact really well said.

I'm willing to enjoy what the players are achieving, after some many years down in the cellar, the view from on top is amazingly wonderfu..

I think Luai's is different because it's deliberate but still don't hate Luai. Just saying we need his good for if he's going to do it like @Iamback says it's apparently necessary so all good.

After we scored before halftime.

Luai gave Seve a mouthful. Not a star player but Seve either was giving it so got it back.
Or as a rookie the side was targeting him.

Either one is fine with me

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

To some extent I agree that Alice is being overbearing and trying to dictate how people should think but this comment is personal and insulting. As they say, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Oh dear.

Tom, I'm not about to explain myself. But maybe, just maybe it's frustration at the constant complaining, when the team is top of the ladder, for the 3rd year running.

So I'm complaining about folks complaining. Yep, that's me. Deal with it. Or put me on ignore.

I'm happy to concede that. I just think he needs balance like a Jedi. Luai might be a Jedi.

 

[Girds89]

Naths kicking game last night was night and day compared to last week.

Tago needs to be made to do extras t training every time he drops it.

Thought edwards bombed 2 chances last night but otherwise was brilliant.

Kiks is in special form.

Hopefully luai gets some confidence out of that.

Agree with others thought kemmy was really good when he came on.

Naths kicking when on song and at his best makes such a good footy team.

Happy to get the win.

Ive been one of salmons biggest critics but i dont get knocking him. Hes been solid imo. I would like to see how we go with smith or eiso on the bench tho.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Yeah, that is an annoyance

 

[billypilgrimnz]

I am. May in the starting team and Staines in reserve grade

Gotta get into our half before you get the privilege of bombing our wingers.
