Game II Discussion

As long as my eyes stay open, I'm going to watch the Fox replay paying special attention to every qld forward...where Origins are won and lost

Don't forget to post your thoughts BEFORE you fall asleep. Otherwise you will have to watch it again tomorrow.

Keep your eye on Napa in the 2nd half, Huge, I thought he was massive. Hope he plays like that again.

 

[holdzy]

Ahh, the feeling of elation at Origin time returns.

 

[BroncsFan]

How about Oates in for glasby?

Ha... really replace a prop with a winger.

I want the stats on glasby because to me he looked alright once he got the nerves out of his system and settled down.

For me Napa and Moose were miles ahead in terms of middles but Glasby and Wallace were serviceable.

You have to watch the way Glasby runs in the middle; he's low and puts a little bit of footwork on to get between players and find his front for a quick play the ball. On the other hand kaufusi runs a great line and is good with the short ball at the line. He's also a great one on one defender but he stays high in his running motion. He also has handling errors in him

Kaufusi is 25 and this is his first year starting. His previous years he was playing prop and wasn't even making a dent in the grand scheme of things

Lol...okay but I'm rubber ducked! First 15, McGuire and Gillett....incredible

 

[Super Freak]

So what's my record at now?

Surely it's working more times than it's not? I should start putting bets on.

Yep he came back on at 57 min and I thought he might get burnt at the back end but he was immense.

As has been said he is just made for origin

 

[Huge]

Oh, yes Napa. He was great and I won't miss his contribution, I only rate the forwards...all the rest are the pretty boys...mm, maybe not but I love the forwards

If he plays for Qld, he may become a great....underrated on this forum

 

[Mr Fourex]

I thought Glasby went better as the game wore on......

 

[Organix]

Thurston and his goal kicking ability won that as well

 

[MrTickyM]

Not sure who the Foxtel host is, unless it's the same as the CH9 one. The CH9 one is creepy as ****, he reminds me of Tom Waterhouse, just got one of those faces you wouldn't trust with 2 bucks.

Yeah that's the dude I am talking about. I was saying I never watch 9 so haven't seen him before.

 

[Huge]

Something I forgot to write, Ferguson was enormous for NSW. Really,I think he was probably their best. I kept being amazed at how he hit tbe line harder than any other Nswelshmen

 

[broncsgoat]

Seem to recall that 40 metre break lead directly to a try.

Lol yeah exactly.

More so than normal, any stats that Glasby put up would not tell the whole story. He made two misreads so bad, that he wouldn't register a missed tackle. He was directly responsible for conceding two tries shortly after he came on. Apart from that 3 minute period we won the game 18-6. He was a bad selection to begin with, and proved to be after the fact.

 

[mitch222]

I get if you want to replace Glasby but **** me replace him with another front rower
Not a second rower
Papalli was shit in the ruck

 

[BroncsFan]

I'm thinking you're talking about kaufusi???

And I think he's a quality edge second rower. Storm haven't missed anything with him over proctor. I think kaufusi is one of the best one on one defenders... he literally just catches them ball and all, locks them up and plants them on their back.

He also runs a great line and has a great offload.... buuut I don't know about playing him in the middle.

Glasby was fine he's a much much better Lillyman and dare I say a better Myles (if we're comparing them as props).

Just my thoughts anyway

Doing that now. So good to watch it all again without the clamp on my throats the second time around.
