Team v. Brisbane

[Eelementary]

Well mate there's sixteen games to go. Let's not go off half cocked hey? We still have top 17 players to come back.

That's true - end of the day, we're only two wins from 8th spot.

Whether we can get there, though...

 

[Eelementary]

We're not going any worse, and the season is only a third of the way through. Plenty of time to improve, especially when we get some players back.

We've scored the same amount of points per game and conceded just as many as last year. Yeah Hayne has been a massive loss. :lol:

Hayne was f**king amazing to watch, though.

Not going any worse??? we are second last and have lost 2 games at home already. Keep going by your stats drop kick. Stats only tell a part of the story. I'd rather watch with my own eyes. Peats is way down on form from last year and add in no Hayne we are nowhere near the side we were last year. If Peats plays a full season we easily make the 8 last year.

Before Peats got injured we were comfortably in the 8 and would have played finals footy otherwise, we are light years away from finals footy this year. We are more chance of the spoon than the top 8. Our back line is the slowest in the comp. i'd argue from 1-7 we are the weakest in the comp by a great deal.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Hayne was alright. I'd probably have him in my top 17.

Who would you drop for him?

Our backs are on fire, scoring more than last year...:sarcasm:

I'm deliberately misusing what Pou said to make a funny...And now I feel bad.

replace falou with Hayne. THat should do the trick

Yeah he was. Best player I've ever seen.

 

[Eelementary]

Hayne would have presented more opportunitues imo, but with our poor handling and commitment, we still lose with him.

 

[Eelementary]

Yeah he was. Best player I've ever seen.

I agree.

And I do agree with you that, in the long run, we will be better off (or, at least, a more balanced team).

But, damn - he was something else.

 

[hineyrulz]

We won the ruck tonight, had 55% of the ball and god knows how many tackles in the Bronc's 20m zone. As if the best player on the planet wouldn't have made a difference lol.

I would've said Faraimo but he got two or three tries tonight, so....maybe a week in reggies and see what happens. Someone in the top grade might suffer an injury.

He's really impressed me, has Faraimo. He's not quick, but he's quick enough, and he's not made any errors.

Wayne Bennett's + Hodges pressie saying Parramatta came to play today.
That they won due to luck going their way and a few big plays that paid off.
Bennett praising the Eels for their effort tonight.

You're assuming he comes into that exact same team. But if we still had Hayne we would be weaker in other areas and we don't win the ruck or dominate possession.

You can't compare that team without Hayne to the-exact-same-team-but-with-Hayne, and then make these idiotic comments of yours. Of course he would improve this team if he came into this exact same team. But the salary cap means he doesn't come into the exact same team. It means he comes into this team minus three other first graders.

 

[Jake the snake]

I know it's still early in the season but we are coming second last which is not acceptable. I like BA but my patience is wearing thin.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Me too. He's copped a bit of stick around here but for a fill-in player IMO he's done really well. I could easily see him being part of a top NRL side, albeit one of the lowest paid. But funnily enough, his success has me pondering wtf is wrong with this team? Maybe everyone else is right and Sandow actually is rubbish. But if he is, so surely is Norman. I really dunno. Who'd be a Parra fan, eh?

Bennett also said he won because he had his senior players on at the end, that he didn't want to risk his youngsters making a huge f**k up in a tight game.

You are the king of idiotic statements tonight, Watmough really has made a difference since coming into the squad. He's been totally outplayed by Gower,Wicks and Terepo all season. Ritchie in his second game back offered more. Who's to say Hayne wouldn't have been playing with this team, who knows what we have done with his contract money??? Hopefully front loaded quite a few extensions with his cash.

Give kudos to Henjack whispering wisdom into Bennett's ear.

And he has become our fourth winger this year to score four tries for the season.
