The 2007 Best Backline Debate

[Mr Saab]

if they use my name to start a thread, they could at least let me know, or is the person that lazy or just thought it would be easier to do it under another persons name ?

Surely letting the person know is not too much to ask ?

Are you serious?
Are you that upset about it because they used your name?
Not like they attributed your name to the use of Viagra

 

[_Johnsy]

Consideration saab, I am mildley annoyed, not upset. How about I access your account and start a thread using your name ?

 

[NK Arsenal]

Who is Daniela? and I doubt that Gordon will play @ centre.
Has he played there before?

Who is Daniela? Are you a Penrith supporter?

 

[The_Savage_1]

Manly might come in somewhere around 5th or 6th but there is plenty of improvement in the players.

Stewart, Matai & Burns are all still young.

Orford played below his best last season. Bell is mr consistent while Lyon - who knows - could be a dud, could be a superstar. Wingers are average at best. Not much tryscoring ability in the Manly wingers.

story of his life

 

[wittyfan]

Burns is plain sh*t

I agree.

 

[tbone10]

I agree.

of course you do. But you have to agree Burns is better than Witt

 

[wittyfan]

of course you do. But you have to agree Burns is better than Witt

I don't agree. Burns is a poor attacking player for starters.

Clearly a lot of people have no idea about the Raiders, seeing we're down the bottom of almost every list that's compiled, on every possible subject. Not saying that it's the best squad in the NRL, but we'll be competitive.

(1) Goodwin
(2) Best
(3) Graham
(4) Chalk
(5) Howell
(6) Carney
(7) Dobson

 

[Raider_69]

dude, look at that line up, whilst we might have high hopes for them. That list contains the following:

Goodwin: Most would not even know who he is.
Best: Fine attacking player, has notable issues in defence
Graham: One of the more under-rated players in the comp imo. He is our only notable strike weapon
Chalk: Showed plenty early on, but how damage has elliotts back row rubbish done to his game as a back?
Howell: Improving but still rubbish
Carney: Will be awesome. No questions. Future rep player.
Dobson: The dude played well in a sub par comp, is unproven at NRL level.

I think its understandable that we are ranked low in the backs

[renouf]

what about a "shimmy" 7m and a 3m flick pass?

don't forget the St.George forward pass.. or are they going to throw less this year since Barrett isn't there?

 

[tbone10]

I don't agree. Burns is a poor attacking player for starters.

as opposed to Witt the only player able to kick a dropout over his own dead in goal line.

And lets talk about defence shall we. I'm sure the speed bump will go well at the warriors. At least he's wearing the right colours for a speed bump now.

 

[Ghoulies]

((3)Average
(6)No Smith = No Dice

The others are fair enough, but with these 2 your credibility takes a fair dive.

Graham has close to the top strike rate for tries per game in the NRL, and as for Carney, he played his best football in the 6 without the pressure of having to shovel the ball onto Smith every 2nd play.

 

[_Johnsy]

Yeah the drongos dont throw forward passes, they are the modern day football "angels" :crazy:
What about your clubs greatest 1/2 who could not tackle, trip very well though.

And we have never claimed a premiership after the ref blatantly handed it to you.

Need we go on ?

LOL!

You hardly even need bait for this one.... he just jumps right on your hook.

 

[_Johnsy]

Someone is not able to raise a point contrary to his opinion without being labelled "taking the bait". if this is the case have a squizz at the why you will & why you wont thread and you can get stuck in to your own Ghoulies.

Oh come off it.

You raised no real point contrary to his opinion; instead you went on about an ex-halfback who played for the club he supports.

All you did was make a retaliatorial remark about renouf's club because you took offence to his comment.

 

[Minto is a God]

I see a recent article whereby Graham Murray has given Minto free reign to play anywher in the Cowboys backline.

Id say 5/8 is the obvious next move for Scotty. I get the feeling Locky might be sh*tting kittens at the though of the great "3 Iron with Ears" moving into his favoured spot.

Watch out NRL, its ON!!
