The root cause

[Russell Crowe's Band]

nicho and tricky have 2 good finals games each to the others none IMO

Plus Ive heard the same theory expressed previously by - off the top of my head - james graham. Cronk. Greg alexander. Anasta. Matt johns. To name a few.
Most of that bunch played in the halves at the highest level.

You forgot to mention Andrew Johns telling all and sundry that Tricky was worth $900K last year when he was doing his contract.
All the egg spurts change their minds and tacts pending on what's trending.

BTW, both Fittler and Johns thought Hynes played very well on Sunday, they were watching him live, not on the screen.

He also said Pissflap Jr would be a 200 game first grader after his debut.

He is up to 118 games, probably 100 more than deserved, and his dad handed him a 3 year extension. He might just fall short haha

thats the thing with brandy and cronk, they are mainly in the studio watching and brandy seems to think the one who kicks the most is doing the organising
Ive only seen one game this year live. the vegas game and trindall got told where to stand and what plays were coming. everything ran through Nicho and thats one game Brandy uses as an example of Trindall running things.

Exactly mate.
It has amazed me all season how they keep saying Tricky is running everything.
I wish I got paid for not watching a game and making comments.

I might start an Anti Podcast, and just say the opposite to what every pod and commentator says

 

[Special K]

Tricky leads the NRL in field goals - 3 (WHAT THE f**k!?)
AFB leads the NRL in post contact metres - 1,489 vs 1,263 coming 2nd
Nicho is coming 3rd in line engagement with 129. Issako is coming first at 202, Dearden 2nd at 136. Dearden is praised for going into the line. Nicho bashed for sideways.
Nicho leads the NRL in line break assists at 23. Drinkwater is 19 in 2nd
Nicho is 7th in try assists with 16 - 20 is the leader in Drinkwater. Nicho needs to do f**king better and those games like vs souths with the Wilton forward pass etc cost him here.
Trindall is 4th in line break involvement with 12. Katoa is 1 with 17. Nicho 9th with 10. Sea eagles are the only other team with 2 in the top 10 with 10/10 for their halves
Brailey leads the NRL in DH runs with 118. 2nd is 100

These are all facts. I don't think we can do anything which I will repeat again. I just don't think the attack is the issue. It is the go forward outside of AFB, errors/penalites and defence. You can't argue this year we have had a soft draw to inflate these stats. We have had a shocking year below our standards. It does however give some insight into why certain things have frustratingly stayed the same. Is it enough to take us to the next level? I don't think so. However if you look at teams in the mix and who has peaked or played their best football we certainly are not in that conversation.

Not trusting Nicho is totally fine. I get it. But I do think he has had a decent year.

C'mon man...dont give too much away - thats the next thread: The best of halves, the worst of halves.

Was keeping some powder dry.

Said it as well after the Newcastle game in Newcastle. It was obvious Nicho was calling all the shots and the 7.

recently I’ve seen trindall going over to the right and almost getting in nicho’s way, overplaying his hand. I think one of those times was last week when he kicked it a long way dead.

Hey, you know a certain entertainer has departed and the theatre has to be kept up by some, for how long I'm not sure.

I haven't heard anyone say trindall is running things...my WHOLE point is every commentator I hear is saying NOBODY KNOWS who is running things, but one of the these 2 has to.
This game works best when a side has a definitive game manager.

Reminds me of an old joke.

Big shoes to fill."

And that is the point mate.
Numerous here are saying that its quite obvious live at the game that you can see Hynes is running the team, and these commentators and podders keep saying that they can't tell who is, even you say it, because you, and they, are watching on the screen.
I'm actually serious here, there is a major difference to what is being said in the media on our game play makers regard to what is actually happening.
This is not a comment on whether the playmaking is good or bad, just that Hynes has been running the team all year but no "expert" can see it.

I saw the Gosford game against Easts live and can confidently say that every single of them sucked on that fine occasion.

I was there too.
Only joy for me that night was kissing a 30 year old Colombian lass later in a pub.
It did make me forget about the game though...

Hynes ran the team and he was shit. Tricky punched the ground and he was shit.
