Rumours and Stuff

Waqa isn't that fast.

Pretty sure he’s the fastest in the club over 100

Souths have peaked and are now done. Their game against us was their Grand Final. Stick a fork in them, they're done.

If they're done then we are compost.

Still not that fast.

Panthers rolled Cowboys by 20 --- they were fantastic.
Eels rolled Broncos by 16 in pouring rain (should have been 20 with Fergo wrongly denied a try) but were shit according to the Fox commentators.

I don't know about anyone else, but the constant bagging of the team and its players by FOX gives me the shits...

In fairness, the Panthers had it well and truly won early in the match and let the foot off the gas with some late consolation tries.

Riff 25 Broncos 12 , what a team the Riff
Parra 26 Broncos 12, gee how off were the Eels

selective comments much, 5 tries to the Eels and 1 somehow denied - 4 tries to the attacking machine known as Panfers.

we didn’t play 80 minutes, but give Broncos their due, never stopped trying and that’s a very difficult opponent at any level.

Hass makes a huge difference to the GG's.

No. When Panthers beat Brisbane they all questioned them and ability. And plenty still say come finals Storm and Roosters will steam roll them.

 

[Mr Parramatta]

This Ginnane is an absolute tit, he was giving Moanly a chance, down 18 points with 5 to go, this guy shits me no end, flog!!!

I don't really give a shit what FOX or any other commentators say. They're entitled to their opinion, and their fundamental point about our attack of recent times is hard to argue with. If anything it's good motivation for the players.

Waqa isn't that fast.

Ok

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Waqa isn't that fast.

Matt Shirvington reckons he's pretty fast (or at least was pretty fast in 2018)

WAQA BLAKE (100m/200m sprint)

Shirvo says: Some of the linebreaks he had and the form and technique he has been showing this season has been pretty amazing. He might be the surprise on this list but in terms of the here and now he's on top of his game and his speed is right up there.

He was faster at penrith

 

[84 Baby]

He was faster at penrith

More speed out that way

 

[hindy111]

More speed out that way

Players with tall long legs do not look as fast. Jai Field look faster but once in open and motoring guys like Blake and Fergo can motor.

 

[lingard]

Ray Higgs?

Was he a better player at Manly than at Parra?

 

[lingard]

Ok

Right.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Was he a better player at Manly than at Parra?

Probably not.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Penrith is also at greater altitude (25m) than Parra (19m). Imagine if he moved to the Raiders.
