Round 26 v The Eels

[WestyLife]

Salmon will be 6 I think. We can still defend our way to a title again

I hope so cogger was arse at 6. Salmon was alright for a fill in

You wouldn't know footy intelligence if it wacked u in the face.

Go back and read my posts this week and prove yourself wrong... again... reoccurring them here big boy..

When your right ill be the first to come give you at pat on the back and stroke that ego champ

Hahaha stick to watching 360 Hoops, I’m sure you’ll get some more gems to spew up on here.

 

[WestyLife]

Rubbish.




Oh so it's okay for people to be so arrogant, and it's not ok for me to pull them into line? I have been talking about the game.

Those arrogant people are right. Edwards plays and the club take the game seriously the Eels get embarrassed. It's a strategic loss. Military leaders have done it for all of history losing a battle to win a war. In our case having a fit top 17 is more important than beating the eels since top two is already assured. The club is very deliberately and intelligently pacing itself for a run at the GF.

In hindsight you say this.... i said it a few days ago, that Ivan wanted a challenge, hence the musical chairs on positions.. To'o isn't ready for a padawan

I said it before the game ivan doesn't really care about the minor premiership. In private I guarantee all his thought is on finals. Top two is all that matters for a home final.

Really, do you really believe that.

They could have Kevin’s son at 7 and they are still massive contender's.

The absence of Adam Reynolds for the Broncos is a hiccup for them, they are fit and in form.

Jock Madden if required will be good enough.

There favourites for the premiership albeit I think finishing second works in our favour, week one.

Madden has 20 FG games, 0 finals games.

That would then mean they have a spine who have yet to play a game.

Meanwhile we have guys like Fish going for their 4th grand Final in a row, Still have 2 Clive Churchill medalists in our spine.

Storm and Roosters/Souths are the only side with vast finals experience besides us. The rest of the teams need all their ducks in arow

Not sure Salmon can play a full 80. It will be Cogger, Just Cleary doing way more

Happens all the time in the NBA, x team is playing a back to back. They rest some guys to have them fit for the playoffs.

Same thing here

He specifically said he DOES care about the minor premiership, and he thinks nobody else does, as winning the grand finals are anyone remembers, you are confused

You don't rest both turuva and Edwards if you care about getting first place. Nathan has clearly been experimenting with his kicking and playmaking using these games as a training run. Look back after the finals and you'll see the difference.

 

[jane the pain]

well, that didn’t age too well Janey.

Some de-smuggling before the finals is in order.

Go and self fornicate. At least the eels will not play finals.

I don’t have a very good “footy brain” but I thought the same thing. You don’t rest two of your best and most important spine players in that game if you want to win the minor premiership. Also took Yeo off with 15 mins to go, when we were losing. With what happened to Luai, the less injuries to the top guys the better.
A frustrating game to watch, which probably accounts for some of the doom and gloom from those in the fan base , including myself, who don’t take losing well.

 

[Chins get the wins]

I'm excited that we have an actual challenge now. We were cruising 3 in a row

 

[PennyPanthers81]

This conversation could all be moot- we beat the Cows next week and Broncos go down to the storm, which is not outside the realm of possibility, we win MP anyway.

The aim is to win the comp not the MP, also Broncs have the short turnaround next week. We can do more with the 9 days. So it was a good week to rest guys

Yep. 9 days the boys are sitting pissed off at losing.

Broncos won with Shane Perry

Roosters with Cronk busted

We are matching one of those 2

Yeo was passing too early till after Origin but he'll need to step it up again and help Nathan. He's a better half than Cogger or Salmon

This will never stop being hilarious. Imagine being a halfback getting schooled by a lock forward making 30 tackles a game and 100 run metres as well.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

In Yeo we trust

That is how I see it going. Yeo playing as a 7. Cogger adding the odd thing but Cleary playing both sides wider out
