Round 8 Discussion

Soward has to be close to being the worst defender in the comp.

 

[broncoboy]

Soward may not be at 2010 level but he is far from the worst half in the game.

No offense dude but comments like this really makes you look like you none or little Rugby League knowledge.

my comment has nothing to do with rugby league knowledge, the statement i made was an opinion on behalf of me. If my rugby league knowledge is that bad and yours is obviously that good could you please advise me to who is a worse half in rugby league at this point?

In terms of established halves, I'd have Soward over Tyrone Roberts, Townsend, Brooks & Moses, McCrone, probably even Marshall & Mullen.

I would add Hodkinson and Pearce to that list...

I don't think Robson will ever play in the NRL again, so I'd say the worst half in the NRL right now is Tyrone Roberts, closely followed by Josh McCrone. Soward is pretty good tbh man, his kicking game is in the upper echelon.

Put it this way, if Hunt had Soward's kicking game he'd be the best half in the comp, or at least in the same discussion as Thurston.

 

[Big Pete]

Who invited all the Soward fans?

I kid but I see where bboy is coming from. Take away his kicking game and all you've got is a turnstyle who can't set up a try to save themselves. And even with his kicking game, it isn't as controlled as it should be. How many matches has he lost in the dying stages because he's kicked too long? Or just thrown up absolute puss? Too many times.

Unfortunately for the NRL, he's got a lot of company.

The worst?

With Robbo gone, it's probably the bloke so bad that nobody even thinks of him as a half (apparently).

 

[Alec]

jamie soward has got to be the worst half in the game, to me he is on the same level as jeff robson

That's probably still a level above Luke Brooks though.

You're not bagging out my man Wall-P?

 

[broncoboy]

at point in jamie sowards game he was one of the more elite halves in the game, i always remember one of his best traits was his pace, but since leaving the dragons his pace has turned to shit and so has his game

 

[broncoboy]

man knights are disappointing, they have dropped the ball over the line twice and handed it over about 4 times, ive got to add though in a loosing side nathan ross, newcastle's winger has been very impressive since debuting last year

 

[Big Pete]

Don't be silly, Pete's a hooker now and was up until yesterday in the running for a Blues jersey.

He may still make my team in Rugby League Live 3.

Walker was the player I had in mind. He's been so bad that a dummy half completely and utterly made him look second rate in their formation.

Speaking of, is Parcell still struggling with his hammy? Or is Barrett going crazy?

 

[Fozz]

Knights. Bumble it up for the ten minutes Matai was in the bin and score after he comes in.

 

[tommy]

What was Matai in the bin for?

 

[Fozz]

What was Matai in the bin for?

Holding down after a knights break near the tryline.

 

[Unbreakable]

And that's Mullen's career done, he's had hammy problems for years.

 

[Fozz]

At this point Mullen's hammys must be held together by sticky tape.

 

[Alec]

Nikorima is finally dropped

 

[Broncoman]

This is my favourite game of the regular season hope it's another good one
