PRE-GAME Round 11 - Roosters vs Broncos

[Huge]

Nah, can't be 'Milford', she's wearing a Maroons jersey

No he isn't, is he? Credit to him though, he's definitely slimmer now.

 

[Huge]

You’re also forgetting his errors and when they happen. He’s lost us games single handedly, he’s let players run over him for the match winner. He’s not the fucking answer, dude. Neither is Rhys Kennedy or Payne Haas at second row.

Which game was that, the game where he single handedly lost us the game? Dude.

And a jersey that has been earnt might I add.

All Origin jerseys are earned. Sure, some are harder fought than others, but every jersey is earned one way or another.

He was in vastly better form back then, but unfortunately for Milf even then he didn't have a lot to bring to the table. It's not even a criticism of exclusively him because I'd say in general he's not the syle of player that tends to thrive in the Origin arena.

Those guys who heavily rely on picking out weaknesses, gaps and opposition defenders making mistakes in order to be effective have always found those mistakes much harder to come by in Origin.

Sorry you may have miss understood what I meant. I wasn't refering strictly to a Origin jersey perspective I was talking about a present day team jersey in general. That can be lower grade, NRL, Origin or International. Milford earnt his Maroon jersey then yes that was over 2 years ago, in the present day he hasn't even earned his NRL team jersey. The woman on the other hand has earnt all jerseys and in the present day. Big difference.

Looks like Riki is the only one facing a ban... Gamble and TPJ just fines, Lodge nothing I guess??

Riki facing 2 weeks suggest that it's 1 week with an early plea. It doesn't really talk about it in the article

EDIT: Article updated to minimum 2 weeks suspension with an early plea

Round 10 charges: Titans duo accept bans; Papa out of Origin

All the official charges from the match review committee for round 10 of the Telstra Premiership.

When was the last time that someone got binned as a result of "foul play" result in just a fine? Shows how ridiculous the directive is when even the match review committee believes it is an over-reation.

So, take the guy who has supplied 50% of our season total points and shunt him out to the wing? Replace him with the laziest **** on earth with appalling defence and zero tries to his credit? On top of that you want KHunt at t/8 and Kelly? as halfback. No. @BooKhaki over to you

What?

Why are you using 50% of total points as an argument when he is the goal kicker. He can still kick goals from the wing.

You’re also forgetting his errors and when they happen. He’s lost us games single handedly, he’s let players run over him for the match winner. He’s not the fucking answer, dude. Neither is Rhys Kennedy or Payne Haas at second row.

Haha, this post is spot on.

 

[BooKhaki]

Whatever. You simply avoid answering simple questions, know what's wrong with the universe but have no answers and offer no solutions. You're just a whiney prat.
I've told you repeatedly what I'd try and achieve but you continually pretend you don't understand. You're deliberately being obtuse because you think you're clever.

I don't want Haas to be a backrower, I do however want to not waste his energy on basic hitups. Stuff the less talented like Lodge and Kennedy can do. Instead of Haas hitting the ball up first or second, have Kennedy and Lodge do the hard slog. Get Haas running at retreating defence instead of oncoming defence. ****, I hope you can understand that.

No, I always provide answers/solutions/opinions on how I think something can be fixed. I understand what you are saying, I simply struggle to understand the logic behind your insane thoughts.

You don't want Haas to do grunt work, that is part of his job description. He is potentially the best prop in the game, guess what, that means doing fuckin hit-ups. You understand why Haas takes mostly 4th tackle hit-ups yeah? How often do you see Haas taking hit-up on carries 1 and 2?

So tell me again how you want his game to change? And actually think it through, because from what I've seen of this Haas opinion there is holes all through your logic.

Once again, you apparently cannot read or just can't wait to attack. Did you not see the suggested team list I was responding to? Turn your giant intellect in a different direction. That's why I tagged you.

I don't have huge issues with his lineup. I'd have Isaako at centre and Coates on the wing, and I'd be sticking with Gamble at 7. But I understand the logic in all his selection apart from Coates at centre, that's a horrid idea.

Again and again you miss the point, so intent are you on scoring points. There's nothing insane in not wasting Haas on mindless grunt work. I've explained it to you several times but you just ignore it. One LAST time. Think about the quality of Haas's hitups late in the second half contrasted against his hitups when fresh. Now imagine if he wasn't as gassed in the second half. He has been used, despite KWs statements for very long stints and I would like to see him used more effectively. If you don't understand, please, simply shrug and DO NOT RESPOND.

You don't have an issue with Tubs McMilford at fullback, KHunt at 5/8 and someone called Kelly at halfback. Where was Gamble ?

So you don't want him used in the second row, but you want his minutes to be managed better by Kevvie? I'd agree with that.

You should have said that in the first place instead of going with the silly idea of playing him on an edge.

Nope. Milford is the only person in our squad(Apart from KHunt) who has actually proven himself as an NRL level fullback. Albert Kelly is extremely talented, and has from all reports been decent at ISC level. So I can understand the thought process, although I wouldn't be picking him.

1. Milford
2. Coates/Isaako
3. Isaako/Arthars
4. Herbie
5. Oates
6. Hunt
7. Gamble

1. Herbie
2. Coates
3. Arthars
4. Isaako
5. Oates
6. Hunt
7. Gamble


I'd be happy to see either of these run out this weekend. The sooner Isaako is moved from fullback, the better, I'd like to see him nail down a centre/wing position for next year as it's pretty likely we will be in the market for a fullback.
Getting Hunt into the team is a good idea, we have no leaders. He's well past his best, but his mindset is gonna be a big addition.

And you call me insane! Tubs has failed badly at fullback, so badly that he was replaced by Boyd, is slow as ****, lazy as ****, a poor defender and on the way out. So, you're cool with that. Next, you want to START KHunt , not bring him off the bench, no but start him there and partner him with Gamble who was NOT old mates choice. So you have issues with centre AND halfback. You really will twist yourself in knots to justify the ridiculous. Done with you. Insane person, insane choices.

I think you're being pretty liberal with history here.

Milf isnt a fullback but I remember it being more the other way round that they were trying to get Boyd away from the 1 initially.
