Rumours and Stuff

I’m sure it would.

We are now seeing the effects of how important assistant coaches are (due to our lack of them in the pre season)

Agreed. They need to be in place from the very start.

And that 06 side was the Minor Premiership winning team of 05, with the added bonus of a young bloke called Jarryd Hayne.


Yeah nah we’re done.

And this side is the top 4 side from 17, with the added bonus of an old bloke called Jarryd Haynes.

Haha, just taking the piss, I don't even know what to think anymore.

We're getting belted through the middle Pou so tell us, which players coming back will make us better than bog average pack

Mannah - wouldn't make any other NRL starting side

Evans - as above also dropped to wenty for his efforts. Signing of the decade - 3 years fmd

Williams - as above

Kaysa - as above, a defensive liability

Brown - huge heart, but used as a battering ram and it's no wonder he always looks busted. Playing behind a non dominant pack.

Get real Pou. You're all hot and you've lost all credibility with your daily dribbler.

F**k off idiot.

 

[lingard]

Why you keep flogging a dead horse and missing the point?

No, I suppose most of us don't get that

Sorry? What is the point, again?

 

[chiefy1]

F**k off idiot.

Somebody's dummy fell out of the cot last night.

I wonder what value this "Murphy" (Assistant Coach) provides. Have we seen anything change throughout his tenure? I actually think our attack has gotten worse. Maybe he's cheap?

And he's a good bloke.

Given that there are billions of children, billions of cots and billions of dummies (not including yourself) I suspect that you are probably right.

Joey Grima is apparently our 'skills' coach. Apparently he comes up with a bunch of weird and wonderful drills to increase our passing/catching ability. Honestly I haven't seen any of our players skills improve significantly.

Why do people keep banging on about getting Matt Lodge ... has he been good for the Broncos this year? ... they arent exactly setting the world on fire either .... if he was in our current team i bet he would be as crap as the rest of our mob

I haven't been calling for us to sign him but he's been pretty decent for his first season back in god knows how long:

Round 9: 14 runs 142 m 1 tackle bust
Round 8: 4 runs 26m 0 tackle busts (went off injured early)
Round 7: 11 runs 87m 0 tackle busts
Round 6: 12 runs 147m 2 tackle busts
Round 5: 10 runs 91m 3 tackle busts
Round 4: 17 runs 175m 3 tackle busts
Round 3: 16 runs 165m 3 tackle busts
Round 2: 11 runs 118m 0 tackle busts
Round 1: 14 runs 116m 1 tackle busts

The f**ken pyscho shouldn't even be playing rugby league.

Whiney: That’s bullshit. What about death? Taxes?

Taxes?
Lol

Are those stats amazing better than what our forwards put out? .... if he was an eels player he would be getting the old " he gets his metres from kick returns" horseshit

They are certainly better than Kane Evans, Terepo, Matagi. He would be on less money too

Vai was great, wasn't he? Give him two or three years to get fit, and he'll be a match winner for sure. I get your point about BA. Some people fight to the bitter end, don't they. Don't know when to give up ( or change course). It could well be his undoing

Vai, assuming you mean Vave, is 33 years old this year.

Vai is 58 in June.

You've gone too far Hindy. Give yourself a rest.

Our middle forwards have been copping it but I reckon our edge forwards have been utter shit too. They can not seem to break the line with any consistency.

Tepai's only line break came in round 1
Both Edwards and Mau have only 2 line breaks each for the year
T-Rex has only played limited games but recorded only 1 line break back in his first game.

When you struggle to bust through the middle of the field and also struggle to make an impact on your edge you end up with a team who can't score points.

Piece of shit should be in gaol.

Regretably, our edge have been getting shit ball. Admittedly we have nil depth in our attack and rarely, if ever, hit the ball at speed. Some of the passes thrown to edge forwards were at times miraculously caught last night given how bad they were.
Lets not forget our in house preseason efforts were versus those very same poor performers shuffling between the grades now.
