I don't expect you to understand right now - you're obvoiusly a quite simple man, with little understanding of the game of Rugby League in general - let alone it's finer points - but when Gasnier takes himself & Anthony Minichello's mobile phone over to the Yawnion ranks...you will soon see exactly how inconsequential he is to your side!
Your puerile insults are as dust in the wind to me...you are blinded by the hype.
You just keep on listening to Gus Gould for now - for he shall continue to blow the smoke up your arse that you obviously continue to enjoy so much! ;-)
But you will come to see...in time. Ohhhhh yes you will!
Messiah said:Nice top see you have completely drifted from the topic. I'm a Dragons fan & I say Gasnier is double the player Cooper is. All this assuming, you'd watch more Dragons players more than me :lol:
Cooper is faster than Gasnier. And just as strong, despite having a smaller frame. Cooper is more evasive than gasnier - who just bullocks through tacklers. Cooper has actual footwork.Messiah said:Cooper has superior defence, that's all he has over Gasnier.
Gasnier's a better OFFLOADER than Cooper, yes. But talk of him going to 5/8th at one stage of the off-season had me laughing! Passing and offloading are two very different abilities!Messiah said:So is your assesment based on Gasniers better passing game ?
And Cooper doesn't?Messiah said:Or perhaps his ability to make the whole crowd get excited when he touches the ball ?
Funny, because according to my 2006 season guide:Messiah said:Could it be that Gasnier makes more line-breaks, sets up more tries & does more hit-ups ?
By whom? By Gus Gould? By certain sections of the press??..Mate, the day I need these people to feed me my opinions & tell me what to think - is the day I'll just give up & go and follow the International Tiddlywinks League!Messiah said:Maybe scoring 3 tries in a losing team is your reason for thinking Cooper is a better player ?
Oh NO, I figured it out. It's because Gasnier is hailed as the best centre in the world ! That's why Cooper is better ! :lol:

Messiah said:Gus Gould, the whole commentry team, the selectors, English Super League commentators, fan who know what their talking about.
Perhaps you should post a poll on who is the superior centre & watch everyone laugh at you :lol:

at least he hits you with his handbag when your facing him
Barrett hits you with a handbag from behind.
Raider_69 said:this bloke has absolutely no idea
ive been reading his dribble wondering if he is full quid... claiming gaz has no footwork confirmed it beyond any reasonable doubt
Bring Back the Spliff said::lol:
You're just being a precious petal as I had the temerity to question the Raiders' management of the early late 80s/90's ethics in another thread! Settle there princess!
Compare Gasnier's footwork to Cooper's - to Slater's - to Bowen's - to Wesser's - to Willie Tonga's - to Greg Inglis' - to Brent Tate's - Karmichael Hunt's - Hazem el Masri's - Sonny-Bill Williams' - Nigel Vagana's - Milton Thaiday's - Benji Marshall's - Ty Williams' - Jonathon Thurston's - Brett Stewart's - Steven Bell's - John Sutton's - and I could go on and on and on naming players that leave Gasnier for DEAD in that department!
Putting forth Gasnier's footwork as one of his strengths, and as proof that he is 'The best Centre in the World' - is like trying to bail out the Titanic with a mayonnaise jar, I'm afraid! Gasnier's strengths are his upper body & leg strenght, his size in general, his fend and tackle-busting ability and his offloading.
Speed and footwork-wise - SO many other players have him covered.
