The difference of a good coach

[Thomo.]

maybe juggling wasn't really the way to go, .

or perhaps the benefits of that are coming into effect!

2 tries from Ricky's set pieces & organised and structured defence (Ryan & Hamilton, 2007).

Good things to come over the next year or two - with his influence (tactical & signings)we are a good chance to break our premiership defence in 08-09

Big wraps from the ABC crew tonight - nil scoreline is awesome

Ricky and his team are very professional and hardworking


goods thing to come chilli

The ironic thing this year maybe that Kimmorley becomes the NSW origin halfback again, with Ricky being the one that gets him the job

 

[Frenzy.]

i thought it was good - he left kinga in there to get a real feel for the flow of the game

kinga never impressed me at all last night in offence - seems a bit one dimensional

So nothing different from last year? I thought he was a little better. Made one kick which was a nothing but it was an idea. Nevertheless Kinga really doesn't inspire me. He's on borrowed time I'd say because de Gois looked sharp.

We need to bomb the wings more..
We only did it a couple of times and the ball landed about 7m from the try line ffs.
Our kicking was sh*t imo.

kicking in that wind last night was as easy as pushing a marsh mellow up a tigers ass

fair dinkum!!!!

7m from the line was better than 7m past it....

On the bench I thought it was left a bit late for selmes to come back on. He sat on the bench for ages and came back under 5 to go. The game was won I would of liked to of seen him get some more time on debut.

The first thing I noticed about us last night was the fact we had a sleeve sponsor a lower back one also. Pretty nifty to pick up two new sponsors after losing ten straight.

 

[Fuddy]

Pretty good effort for game one - a huge difference this year will be Ricky's ability to understand how Kimmorley and Dykes can play together - as a man who understands both positions.

Those who were concerned last year should take heed - the coach of a first grade side should be able to influence the way his two main playmakers gel together.

Kearney, Thompson and Bird were all very impressive - the frontrowers held things together well.

 

[millersnose]

frankly i was unimpressed

we should beat crappy sides at home and i thought the scoreline flattered us

i dont think ricky will be popping champagne corks just yet

 

[carcharias]

I agree with Noddies.
I thought ( from what I remember ) we looked a bit average.

I was canning on heavily though.

 

[Chondricthyes]

It was OK for rd 1

We did look better organised.

Everyone seemed to know what to do, when.

The Molester having a bad night( and he got plenty from the hill!) helped the blot scoreline.

Bench use was sooo much better than last year.

Blot means to me we played 80 and that is good regardless of the opposition.

Ok, mr i know everything.
I think we need to challenge the wingers.. I remember youngquest in he's youngerdays as flinching under a larger player when going for the high ball.
Covell and Ando should of been used a little more in the air.
And the reason is cause i say so.. so yeah

i didnt mean to rattle your cage poiner

i replied to the football point - i never attacked personally

on topic - y'quest is not young anymore, he may not flinch these days?

the wingers could have been used more - on the ground too apparently

dood, nothing rattles me.
im just beaing a wanker because i feel like it. By making up random points like the youngquest one.

Penrith have Rooney and Youngquest who are big strong players. wWho are capable of shutting down air raid's. However i believe in future games.. the pure size of Ando and the jumping ability of Covell may become one of our greatest attacking weapons in this present season. Bomb the fug out players like utai el masri etc.

 

[carinashark]

I didnt see that much different from Rapers time. I thought I would see more line speed, more confidence in attack and klever kcking from the halves . Oh thats right the jersys where different.

 

[Thomo.]

poiner - time to update the sig!

 

[Malonez]

Did anyone see during the PL game (maybe early in the 2nd half) when balmain knocked the ball on, the sharks guy tried to pick it up & he knocked it forward & another sharks guy grabbed the ball. The ref penalised us for being off side. Wouldn't the original knock on by balmain be the call & it should've been a scrum with our feed???

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Good question,
if he didnt regather, then technically there has been no knock on. the only foul is the offside,
curly one.

 

[Malonez]

Just asking because I think thats where the game really turned & balmain walked home after that. On a positive note, my stand-out was Wilson (I think that's his name) skinny 2nd rower - played well above his weight & smashed a few.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Weston Maybe?
