Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

I think it’s the least of our problems atm but the way we attacked earlier in the year disappeared after about the first 4 weeks.

Are we scoring fewer tries now? Or winning fewer games?

Never ever listen to forumers when they call players slow...

Good. You should be making up your own mind.

BTW, when I say slow I mean more his reaction time in defense and how he telegraphs his intentions not so much his running speed.

He will get better at this, but the question is how much better? If he can make it NRL standard better then he will have a good career. If he can't he will be a fringe player at best.

Only the trainers and time can tell us definitively how it will turn out. I tend to think he will make it but only just because of this shortcoming. But if he can find some new type of training regime/program that can successfully improve that slow twitch reaction, then he could almost become real quality given time and the right atmosphere.

Listening to a souths fan was your mistake there.

Do you need Barry Beeth to speak? Lol

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Do we think Bellamy would go to Roosters as a director or stay at Storms as a director?

They have Ponissi.

For the people who watch JA play week in week out is there any chance he could transition into a 13?

Without his kicking game there’s not much point to having him in the team. That is the case with most halves.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

So when we’re shit it’s because of the coach but when we’re good it’s in spite of him? How f**king convenient merkin

Yeah that’s right the coach had nothing to do with anything. I don’t know why we bother hiring one. Being a small club with no money of course.

Obviously scoop. I didn't realise I needed to point out that halves need to have a decent kicking game.

All I’m saying is the way we attacked earlier in the year changed after about 3 or 4 weeks.

but according to you, BA only has one game plan and it hasn't changed for 10 years

Luke Lewis says yeah

Arthur could easily transition from halfback to lock: Lewis

NSW True Blue Luke Lewis thinks Eels halfback Jakob Arthur should transition into playing lock.

They have Ponissi.

Its a shame Frank loves living in Melbourne.

He is the best footy operator in the business imo.

Better than his punish of a mate who’s a Dragons fan

 

[84 Baby]

I doubt Bellamy leave the storm he is actually contracted to them for the next few years.

Reported that it’s a Drown style arrangement

Maybe we’re trying to convince by signing his sons Will & Dick

And for the first 3 or 4 weeks you could see we were attacking differently, then it was back to Bald ball. Further proof he is a Tithead and can’t delegate.

 

[84 Baby]

I actually think that change comes back to our woeful middle defence. The biggest change is Junior is no longer attacking so wide and I think that’s an instruction to him to conserve energy.
I hate to scapegoat but the way Hodgson (and Hopgood to lesser extent) defends forces so much style change

 

[the phantom menace]

Obviously we need to win. The point is we’ve shown enough quality to know that we should be confident every game rather than writing the season off.

Yeah... nah. We've shown that we're not yet capable to turn that quality into the wins we require. Obviously you want the coach and players to still believe that they can... but the real fundamental question is why they haven't.

 

[the phantom menace]

That's the biggest change year to year. And it's why Hodgson should be nowhere near more than a 30min fill in for this side.
