Superthread LVIII - Honouring the mighty Chiko

[Alba]

Hahahahaha


I love waking up, turning on the morning news, and seeing a hostage situation in progress in downtown Philadelphia bwahaha .. STANDOFF!

 

[Cliffhanger]

Oh my God, I was in Bankstown earlier today with my friend, holy f**k, it was like a stupid tattoo convention, at leastleagueplayers generally don't get those super generic ones.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Great game. Manly were terrific to be honest. With 20 left I thought they'd romp it home. SBW, Maloney and Jennings turned it around for them.

Thought Roosters played below their best because of how well Manly contained them.

DCE was lightyears ahead of everyone. Deserved the CC and glad they gave it to him.

Refereeing was atrocious. I did think the penalty try was deserved in a way; tackling the bloke about to fall on the ball is pretty much the criteria. The rest was bullshit though. They missed a lot of foul play, forward passes and offsides.

Roosters just kept coming back. Boy, they had some ticker tonight. Everytime they were down and out they just managed to rally.

Good end to the season I think.

 

[Cliffhanger]

What is concerning I'd the referee thought Lyon grounded it. It wasn't a penalty try though. SKD had barely allowed Lyon down,

I can't believe Daniel Mortimer was in a grand final winning side, that shocks me. DCE proved a lot tonight, but Maloney proved more, he turned the game when his side looked done.

 

[Bazal]

Mortimer played well. He's a good player in the right side. Mitchell Pearce was a passenger, god I hope he's not NSW half next year. Maloney was excellent, Hagan sure was right about him :lol:

 

[dogslife]

Yeah was gonna say, Mitchell Pearce should consider himself lucky to be a part of a winning team

 

[thorson1987]

You know what's weird.

Grand final night, and LU hasn't crashed yet.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

The worst thing about the Roosters winning is that Pearce will be a walk up start for NSW again next year now.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Pearce wasn't a standout, but he put in some decent kicks tonight. His first two of the night were excellent.

Actually the best part.

Love Qld.

Just reported the NRL Twitter account for spam

 

[Cliffhanger]

I never realised DCE was that good until tonight to be honest, the way he can grab a game by the scruff of the neck when it's in the balance, is what makes a great halfback a champion halfback, I mean I hate the ugly merkin, but he's one talented mofo.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Yeah, what a champing. He grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and his team lost. Champing.

Mortimers a handy player. Robinson knows how to use him properly. Good on the kid. Twice the player Pearce is.

Pearce joins the ranks of Paul Whatuira on the list of 'Useless passengers who managed to weasel their way into a premiership winning team despite their lack of talent'.

*shudder* The horror.

 

[Cliffhanger]

He got his team in a pretty good position, he's just no SBW.

 

[Cliffhanger]

People who think Mortimer is a better player than Pearce have no idea, I agree he's a solid player, but Pearce is has a much better game all round.

Anyway, I can't be f**ked with this argument any more, plenty of people are blinded by their dislike for him and just unwilling to acknowledge the truth. This is the jump I'm doing tomorrow.

Definitely not going first.

 

[BDR]

Premiership Winning Halfback Mitchell Pearce™

 

[butchmcdick]

Yeah roosters deserved it tonight although I thought it was manly's to lose with 2o to go

So I guess SBW is going back go union now having silenced his critics

Might bump a few SBW is shit threads in the main board for the lols

 

[dogslife]

Never have I said Sbw omg is a shit footballer. I just said he was a shit human being. Am I wrong? Oh and praise Allah.

He did. For once.

Anyway, I can't be f**ked with this argument any more, plenty of people are blinded by their dislike for him and just unwilling to acknowledge the truth.

No, some would suggest you might be blinded from his abominable form for years and years in big games and refuse to acknowledge that evidence. He finally bagged one. So would Brian Smith if he had this many chances.....

Also - congrats Roosters!
