All Stars vs Indig.. news and game talk

[schmix]

Sorry to burst your love boat captain fantasies ning, but most of us have been well aboard the Yow Yeh love boat for a while now [icon_wink

He just hasn't been at the front of my mind because most of the talk has been about Kemp and Folau in the off-season.

Entertaining match, particularly happy with the performances of Yow Yeh and Thaiday. Let's hope we see more of it this season icon_thumbs_u

One thing from the game...Bird is still a grub

The game was so-so for me, maybe I just wasn't in a good mood (mainly because I woke up this morning with a killer migraine, and have only been out of bed since 5.30pm).

However, I was impressed by Burgess, Jennings, Smith, Hayne, and O'Donnell for the NRL All Stars. For the Indigenous team, Thaiday, Jones, Prince and Merritt had very good games. I think the NRL team lost their way during middle of the game, and took a while to recover with the loss of Lockyer.

I've been on the boat for a while too!

How did Burgess get picked for the NRL All Stars, he hasn't played in the NRL yet.

 

[titan4wests]

Burgess will be a superstar based on his performance...

 

[Kimlo]

It's obvious how good a player he is from how he played in the four nations.
He will be a star, no doubt huge talent.

 

[The Brizz]

Sam Burgess was by far and away the best player on the field, the guy could be anything.

Yes no doubt but he looks to have alot of mistakes in him, I can see him being hot and cold so we will see how he handles the NRL week in week out.

Game itself was typical preseason...crap. Concept? Nice idea, but it's flawed in that only one team has something to play for, and the occasion is ruined if the other team wins.

Nice to have been there, good atmosphere from the indigeridoo (go Wendell!) supporters. If it's at Shit Park again next year I won't go. TV for me.

I agree Rocky. High error rate, but plenty of big hits, some great line breaks and a lot of entertaining attack as well as the crap.

Much, much better than most pre-season matches, when it comes down to it. Better than every single Charity Shield I've seen.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Folau looked pretty good too. i think we can expect a big year from him!!

 

[Nashy]

Jennings is a freak. He was awesome.

Pretty good match.

Its one of those games that you cant really go for any team. Thurston and Prince combo looked good for a pre season match, wonder if it will happen in Origin this year

I like how the opening was all that abo crap. Where's the white man celebrating with a BBQ and Beer, sporting their Southern Cross tatts while cleaning up local creeks.

You weren't at the game were you? the whole ceremony was quite moving. They had a long blue cloth that resembled a creek and had white fellas in their hats with corks hanging off them picking up rubbish. It was touching.

Did anyone see the sign held up after the indigenous boys won saying ... U R SORRY NOW???
