Rumours and Stuff

Because under the 5 metre rule, ground was hard to make. It was near impossible to get out of your own end so kicking was the best option.

Nowadays, sides are making 50 - 60 metres per set just by running.

Yep. Also teams are so reluctant to give up possession these days. Possession is more important than field position.

Wna is short for want another you dope

my point is its no a song about scoring "another" bit on the side

I find it weird watching old games where the team practically just gives up possession in their own half and no one really bats an eyelid ...... its f**kin crazy man!!! Makes my head explode!

I liked the scrums

I remember the kicking duels in the 80s. Love a good game of force em backs!

when the hookers head would pop up from the uppercut then it would be ON

Hi running game was shot. Unless he would make 40+ tackles he wasn't a contributor.
I'd say his running game was shot by 24/25 tbh. Age 21 till 25 he was dynamic

What are you on about? He always made a shitload of tackles. Pretty hard to have a running game when you do that much defence. A selfless team man.

Peachey deal hits a snag

One deal that does appear to be on track is Waqa Blake shifting further towards the city to join Parramatta. The 24-year-old, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury, may have played his last game for the Panthers with the Eels deal all but sealed.

If true why is it taking so long?

 

[Glenneel]

This kid can play. Bit injury prone. Pur backline is going to be potent.
Where does Salmon or Parry see future now?

If Mennings is re-signed it will be for only 1 year imo and they'll have to fill in during injury. Parry can also play wing so a fill in for injury again. If good enough 1 will end up with a permanent spot at centre but probably not next year.

Think the duels were in the unlimited tackle days. Keith Barnes v whoever.

Shit club mate.

I just don’t understand it in Union. They have unlimited tackles. Why give up the ball when you can just keep tucking it up the field for the whole game?

I know it’s not that easy, but I don’t give a f**k. Union sucks.

 

[T.S Quint]

Shit club mate.

I’m sure it’s BA’s fault somehow.

Minni might be a better bloke (which is pretty irrelevant when comparing footy players) but there is no way he was a better player than Slater.

I disagree.

 

[Noise]

I disagree.

What was Mini better at than Slater?

 

[Eelementary]

Have you been sniffing glue?

Huffing it, yes.

What of it?

 

[Eelementary]

shame you never got to see the Mayor play mate,

it was a different game back then and KT was ahead of his time, no one ever saw a fullback control a game like he did back then

and then there was the kicking duels, something you just don't see any more

I wish I was around to watch him play - by all reports, he was the "original" Jarryd Hayne.

 

[Eelementary]

What was Mini better at than Slater?

Returning the ball.

Defending.

Slater is probably a better overall player because of his consistency; once Minichiello suffered a few back issues, he was a shadow of his former self.

But at his peak few years, he was insanely good. And he had a ridiculously high work rate, in terms of playing so many games.

I think we forgot how bloody good The Count actually was.

 

[Noise]

Slater was so good at returning the ball from kicks teams started kicking it dead so he couldn’t and they ended up changing the rule (7 tackle set) because of it.

I thought Uncle Wayne started that ploy in order to take Haynes out of the game?

Yep I thought this was the brand new thing in 2010.
