CROSS FORUM NRL Round 18 Discussion

[Dion Johnson]

His whole game is based on energy and backing up plays.

Good footballer for sure, though he doesn’t have that sudden acceleration that he can get outside the defenders to create an overlap like he did.

They looked better in attack with Talagai at the back for me.

 

[Dion Johnson]

I'm definitely not suggesting we move RTS to 6 but look at the change in Souths getting Wighton out of the centres and into 6.

RTS looks better at the back, trying to accomodate CNK doesn’t seem to be clicking, switching those two would be a win for them.

CNK is a bigger body at centre also.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Even worse for the Eels, Talagai could be going to the Dolphins..

 

[LeonardCohen]

He’s been very good but it’s not the catalyst for a ‘change in Souths’. Suddenly they’re enthusiastic and working hard in defence. The entire side has adopted a new attitude since learning of Bennett’s impending arrival.

Then you’ve got the Eels who have spent weeks trying to find a new coach, believing it doesn’t affect the players

 

[LeonardCohen]

As far as the commentary were concerned there was only four players on the field.
1. Trell
2. Walker
3. Wighton
V
1. Charlie Guymer
Had to mute it with ten to go. The absolute throthing from Vossy and Ennis was sickening.

Yeah Ennis kept going on about Latrell. He had a decent game but it was nothing remarkable. At one point, the Eels dropped the ball and over ran it so the closest player to it was Latrell, he naturally picked it up and Ennis described it as ‘a huge play by Latrell!’

Wait until you hear Ennis go on about Walsh. If Walsh even gets near the ball then it is shumming time from Ennis.

Walsh could shit in Ennis's mouth and he'd wax lyrical about the smooth consistency and how effortlessly Walsh laid the cable in his mouth.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

ITS SOO SMOOTH

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Man, we really need to win this weekend!

Just goes to show how bad our last six-seven weeks has been.

Whats going wrong at Manly? Havent been following your season too closely..

The usual... a clueless owner, a soft pack, a self-driven 7, an injured Turbo, and more recently, a useless coach

A concise, succinct and accurate summary… though, I’m still undecided on Seibs yet.

Surprised no mention of Moses and the laugh of the night was him being sinbinned

Wow , summed up the entire club in one sentence. Well done @Pete W

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Yeah, Pete W summed it up. The end result being we just haven't won enough games. Two wins from the last six, both at home.

The soft pack is real though. It’s the reason we are so inconsistent. Basically, we have to rely on the opposition pack turning up asleep and get career games out of middles to just get the chocolates. It’s really frustrating.

Yeah tbh I have no clue who Manly is even had up front. I can name/recognise 2-3 forwards from most clubs but not Manly.

Really hope Ponga has a blindervthis weekend and makes it on the QLD bench
