Dale Copley - Appreciation Thread

[Super Freak]

I don't think his going to do that...

 

[Huge]

Can we actually just drop the whole he's and his thing now? It's done it's rounds and it's number is up. Really isn't very impressive anymore

Is it deliberate ? I just can't tell, honestly. I do know it's super annoying just like reading faith in hook when quite obviously no one has any. As for Copley, as a professional he must simply get on with his game and start producing stellar performances. I mean after this latest setback quite obviously. He still has a few question marks on his general performance and I don't want to belittle him with that statement. He does have the talent, he just has to develop a Maranta type mindset and earn a half million dollar price tag. If he wants to stay local and gets a chance with the Titans he should take it. I wish him well because he tries hard.

Copley actually played every game last season.

Would have played every minute too if he didn't come off heavily concussed against NZ.

.....embarrassed again by your damned photographic fortress of RL memories !!

I bid you adieu kind sir until next time, when the playing field may be less familar and the talk turns to poetry, romance novels and Asian pornographic actresses.

I shall have my revenge.

I pray for the day that BHQ has a 'Greatest Asian pornstars' thread

 

[Big Pete]

Yes....photographic memory...

Otherwise known as Rugby League Project.com :laugh:

I just had a hunch and wanted to set the record straight.

Otherwise I agree with everything you said in regards to Dale and his history with injuries goes back to his NYC days.

I am just a bit concerned that Copley had his break out year in 2013???

 

[heartly87]

I like Copley but he has had a very bad year, with injury and form. He needed to have a big year as he will be off contract come years end. I do not know if its true as I have not looked but it feels apart from last year he has had more time off in rehab then Hodge. For me we have a few guys in our backline that have had this issue and really need to be forming a side that are season hardened. Copes had a good year last year but was this not due to an injury free year. I fail to see upside in someone who has only played around 70 games in 5 years, roughly 50%.

 

[K-Style]

I dont think his form is worse than last year. He still looks good with the ball despite a dodgy offload. His tackling one on one was pretty impressive this year but he still seems to be found out positionally. Lack of game time and getting moved about doesnt help this.

He definitely had a break in that year. His leg broke or something and he didn't play a game.

Do you mean 2014? He did his ACL in one of the trials in 2013 and missed the season.
