So Chad Townsend is a better attacking player than Yeo?

You haven't given us any comedy since Soni Koroisau a few years ago.
Are you being serious?? Or are you actually this clueless…

are you actually suggesting that Yeo could steer our team around the field, work out the back of shape, kick in general play.

All because he does a bit of ball distribution for us.

Chad Townsend is a premiership winning 7 for pity sake.

Please tell me you aren’t this dumb..

The Yeo first receiver thing is just an evolution of the way the game is played now.

There is any number of 13’s in the game who get the ball as first receiver there not necessarily play makers as such it’s just a means to an end, giving the actual play makers a little more space wider of the ruck.

Yeo is just a great footy player, not because he is a playmaker if that’s what you believe, it’s because of his drive, determination, commitment etc etc.

One of our greatest players ever, the whole playmaker thing thou is a little unrealistic it’s just part of the overall game plan and tactical set up.

Some of you simply don't understand what you're watching with Yeo
We all recognise it. At some point his name will be on one of our two main new stands at the new stadium. No one’s talking him down , far from it, but his role in the tactics, formation, structure is just the evolution of the way the game is played. Other sides do it, he just does it better, because he is an elite footy player.

Yeah but as I used before.

Him and say Townsend in the side.
Attacking the line in a close game

Yeo gets it 90% of the time in that situation.

I am suggesting

game 10-8 or something game on the line. Attacking the opposition line to win.

Kenny's options are

Townsend on the left

Yeo on the right.

You don't think Yeo is getting the ball?

Shark park last year in our best game of the year.

Luai 34 passes
Yeo 29

Look at games especially when Cleary is out. Yeo is the one that straightens the attack up and is the one who gets it wider

Were comparing apples to oranges.

The game plans of almost all sides are largely not dissimilar the game these days for the most part is very structured.

Some sides do it better than others, have better players in key positions and execute the game plans better when it counts.

Using say Chad Townsend as a comparison to what Isaiah Yeo does is flawed.

The Storm. Broncos and a few other clubs including the Sea Eagles have the ability at there best to put on big scores on there opponents. We for the most part don’t often win games by huge margins.

Im going down for the Storm game, should be interesting, early season not sure whether the outcome either way will mean too much long term.

This is so dumb.

You actually think that Yeo is an NRL quality half back.

Kenny throws more passes than both, maybe he should play half back!

There is some hyperbole to saying Yeo is a halfback.

However, SOS and Cogger got their current deals by playing alongside him and appearing to be competent first graders.

Also take a shot every time they say half:


You'll need to open a new bottle after fifteen seconds.
