Oates is quick in a straight line but so slow at turning

If only stayed on his wing like that boat stuck to its position.

Unfortunately these rocks and diamonds types rarely break out of that mindset. Inu, Sandow, Mateo, etc.

Actually speaking of Chris Sandow he has been reported in the Dailey Telegraph that he wants to make a comeback at the age of 32. He also said he would accept a contract of $150, 000 to do it. Reading between the lines though Sandow admits he is not in great shape. He said looking after four kids kept him on his toes but made it difficult to find time to train. And that he would need a preseason to get himself right.

Sandow also said he wanted to play 'unstructured football'. Which may not be the best pitch for some clubs. But he said that the top clubs (Eels, Roosters, Panthers) throw the football around which suits his game. The comment is surprising because Sandow had a fall out with Brad Arthurs at the Eels. And made the very claim that if Arthurs let him play the way he wanted to play the Eels would win more games.

Sandow it's always been one of the what if's he had stayed at Souths things may have turned out differently.

Lol would accept 150k. He'd be lucky to be offered a train and trial.

 

[broncoscope]

" not in great shape" is a bit of a stretch...
He's apparently driving dump trucks at a coal mine i used to work at and the boys say he's like a beach ball...lol

Ahh yeah you're right, it was Corey Oates that got Black Caviared by Saab.
Still, once Coates leaves next year we'll be lacking speed unless they recruit well.

In the replay you can see Oates say to himself “**** me” when he knew he was no chance.

He needs that to pay for his queen of The Nile payments

How good is Nicho Hynes going at 5/8 right now.

Let's not forget Dragons were screwed and he's playing against 12 but he has been good. It's not a fair game though.

He’s playing fullback. Paps went off injured and Jacks went to 5/8.

But yes he’s good. Hopefully in the cooling off period as we speak.

 

[Evander]

Broncos are missing speed men. Our current fastest player is probably Xavier Coates and look at the gap Saab put on him even with the ball in hand. In previous years we had Chris Walker, Denan Kemp, James Roberts. Time to recruit a couple of speedsters.

Saab did that to Oates not Coates

So everyone who isn’t sold on Hynes I think you can be now... he has done this without spine assistance except for Hughes but he is no general so there’s our answer... he is who we need to go hard for at fullback

I'm not surprised he'd accept 150k though, he'd be earning that.

agree with you but you'll still get the argument from people it was against a weak side with 12 men etc.

Well I guess they don’t have to agree neither do you and me at the end of the day... let’s just cross our fingers that kev and donaghy think he’s the right man. It might help even more that Brodie and billy Walters are good mates with nicho as well

 

[Sproj]

We had Walsh and now we need to settle for Hynes. Not a bad save really if we get him.

Not a bad save at all... and we can still afford a capewell or a winger or both

Prior to his injury dufty was doing quite well too (2 good try assists and 1 almost try assist). If we could nab hynes/dufty or isaako could improve his support play, footy IQ, ball skills and urgency at the back (but this has not really improved in the past 10 rounds) our 2022 spine would be a lot more balanced.
