TLT - Rnd 11 vs Knights - Friday night @ 6pm

[Lemon Squash]

"Poor old Charlie" is young enough to still be playing Flegg ffs. He is well on track. Not many forwards play first grade every week at his age.

The edge forwards at the current top four clubs hadn't played much NRL by the age of 21. The only freak is Halasima:

Merkin	NRL games by the age of 21
Halasima	13 (and not even 20 yet)
Blore	13
Katoa	13
Young	9
Guymer	8 (and doesn't turn 21 until November)
Kikau	0
Nicholson	0
Niukore	0
Preston	0

What this proves is that merkins write players off far too young.

Pou you are the first to shoot a bloke down if he hasn’t played first grade by 22.

He’s been struggling. Right now he isn’t up to first grade.

Stop trying to tie Pou to a position that he has to change now to the current argument?

don’t you know how this works??

 

[TheParraboy]

Knights by 30
Parra by 7

im not sure which one..

 

[hineyrulz]

gee we look better with Lomax back, now if we can get Simmo fit and nuke Penisini

 

[the phantom menace]

Ryles... Lomax... same thing!

 

[the phantom menace]

Lomax still needs to pass a fitness test tomorrow... I guess the back-up is Samrani to the backline, and someone else to the bench.

Eels won’t rush Blues hopeful Lomax back because of Origin

The high-flying winger will be named to return from a foot injury, but still needs to pass a final fitness test on Wednesday.

No, I shoot down the merkins talking him up.

Agreed

See above. My position is always that nobody is as good or as bad as the unwashed masses say they are. If you're talking up a 22 year old who's never played first grade, you're wrong. If you're shitcanning a 20 year old with half a dozen games you're also wrong. These are young, inexperienced dudes, and they don't need extra pressure from a bunch of 50 year old nerds on the internet.

 

[the phantom menace]

No, I shoot *down the merkins talking him up.

*yourself in the foot, every time you post to "educate merkins"

The "unwashed masses" already heard your position... ad nauseum... in all the threads, over many years and decades.

Yet the self-centred trolling still continues, and the forum traffic gets smaller and smaller....

If they know my position they should stop misrepresenting me. If anything is trolling, it's deliberately lying about what somebody has said.

You sound like Katy Perry

If anything is trolling, it's deliberately lying about what somebody has said.

Or Taylor Swift (Reputation era).

That's something a troll would say.

If we lose this game i will find it hard to think how we can actually avoid the spoon this year.

We will probably have to win 8-9 games with our shit F/A.

We had Dolphins at home and Knights are probably the 2nd worst team in the comp atm in this 2 week block.

Our best part of the draw to get some momentum in the season.

If we squander this game then the fixture actually doesn't get any easier post this week.

He owned the Tigers game but Moses should have got us home last week at 12-6 up.

His game management was poor in that 10-15 min period we had the lead.

He really owes us a MOM performance before pissing off to Origin for another 6 week period.

We're definitely in contention - especially if Moses and Lomax somehow get picked for Origin. And even if they don't, there's the risk they'll sulk instead of bringing their best club form.

True that.

With his manager-organised media appearance this week trying to pressure selectors into Origin selection, you'd assumed Moses is primed for a big game.

However I still think Knights by 14, because... our edge forwards and centres.

Hayne comes in at 6 and leads an undefeated run to the GF. We lose to Saints in our last match to only beat them in the first finals. We face Melbourne in the GF and lose :-(

The Fins did beat the Riff and Storm this season so they aren't a crap side. They have had 3 seasons now to become a premiership threat. With the side they have they should be in the top 4.

I hope Moses gets picked for Origin as he will get to play beside Clearly and hopefully learn a few things from him. He still needs to learn how to put the foot on the throat when leading.

Knights Suck balls but we will probably play them back into form.

They are giving us 1.5 points at the line. So we suck balls harder.

It is seriously the Nobody Cares Cup and the nobody cares timeslot.

Unfortunately penisini doesn’t have the smarts to change and adapt?
