Round 14: v Titans - Game Day Thread

Source?

I prefer BBQ mostly, except on bacon and eggs, and sausage rolls & pies, when it's Tomato or GTFO.

Oh hang on...

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Sorry Baz, i called for Rory for the Newcastle game. BA just got the mail late.

Yeh but I waited to see what difference his absence would make to the Wenty performance. Then I went and backed (well got my mates K-bob and Snakeboy to back) us to the tune of 500 gorillas. People will think something dodgy was going on, but it was just astute form analysis.

 

[Parra47]

Only got to see the game today, had a wedding last night. Good controlled win. Good solid win.

 

[Gronk]

Pritchard was charged with a grade two careless high tackle on William Zillman during the Eels' win over the Titans, while Blair was charged with making dangerous contact on Roosters forward Mitchell Aubusson.

Both players can escape bans with early guilty pleas.

Gutho, Peats etc

I want to hear more about what Parra47 got up to last night.

Funny they could find a way to get Marika and Carter off last week and then Carter off again this week but not Kaysa. In fact they over grade it, grade 2 for that? What did Tapau get for almost taking off Birds head earlier this year, that was a send off and he missed a week or something soft like that.

Un-f**king-believable.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought it was a pretty bad tackle. Still f**king awesome though.

 

[strider]

first contact was on the shoulder .... though he was swinging like a mad mofo

The fact the that it hit the shoulder first should take a grade 2 out of the equation imo.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

. Consider the following NRL games listed below:

French – 2

O’Brien – 4

Alvaro – 13

Pritchard – 16

Gutherson – 18

Edwards – 33

Moeroa – 40

Ma’u – 47

That’s a significant number of players with less than 50 games of NRL experience. Add both Radradra and Terepo with just over 60 games and the efforts under the pressures of this season become even more meritorious. It’s also another example of the superb job that Brad Arthur and the football staff have done with this team.

Some interesting points there.

I've been talking up Windscreens for a good couple of years now. Even tried starting a thread once.

Otherwise I agree with you 100%

Good read as usual.

Sorry, yes. I get confused between the 2 all the time.

Brown, luckiest player in the comp!

 

[forward pass]

Gutho, Peats etc

I am really liking Gutho. He was a really good buy - quality player. Seems to be loving the club and loving playing first grade each week.

His quick thinking pass to French for the try was superb.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

His hit-ups are getting better every week as well.

 

[Bigfella]

Better put of dummy half than one off at this stage but yep.

He's got a good footy brain, decent pace, and plenty of skill.

He's like the anti-morgs

 

[hineyrulz]

Guth is a ripper, great pick up for the club.

 

[yy_cheng]

I wasnt sold on Guth in the first 2 rounds.

However, he is now dead safe under the bomb (thanks to lots of hard work and practice). In the centres, he knows how to use his winger.

So I too am warming to him.

I still think give him a run at fb in attack to see if he can get passes out to our edges in which Gordo is struggling with.

Or stick him at 6. KE is too bulky and not quick enough in his movements/passing at 6. We then also miss his hard running punches because he is passing more.
