Round 26 - Melbourne vs Broncos - Post Game Discussion

[_wwong]

well if that your logic for Bennett being a better coach than Griffin ... then i'll use the same logic ..

Since the Knights couldn't beat the Broncos this year (in fact they got smashed both times) the Griffin must be the better coach ... infact i don't recall Bennett EVER beating a Griffin coached side ...

ses your logic makes no sense.

and to add to that logic Bennett has 7 premierships and griffin has 0. griffin doesn't even get a participation award

Oh no, it's started again ...

 

[Socnorb]

No!

 

[_wwong]

yeah who cares. griffin is history now anyway. let's all start fresh for 2015.

 

[Foordy]

he can piss on the field if he's unhappy

no he can just piss off ...

I'm holding out hope that:

A) it's just rumours and Bennett isn't that stupid; or
B) The NRL refuse to register a contract for him; or
C) some other team, like maybe the Raiders, offers him significantly more than us and he turns us down ...

In saying that, we desperately need a 9.... McCullough is just not the man for the job.

Hindmash was useless in attack but a brilliant defender, I suspect McC's game would improve if he didnt have to do as much defence as he does.

Also does anyone else think fast wingers are the go? If our forward get going like I think it will next year, we should have someone like Marmin Barba on the wing who can be an attacking threat and convert more attacking opportunities with his speed.

Long time since we've had speed not since Yow Yeh. Right now we have a strong runner who isn't fast on one side and on the other someone who is (yawn) safe. a strike winger would be good, M Barba is fast but quite small

Since Griffin started a head coach he has a higher winning percentage than Bennett. this logic can go on all day, and Bennett barely wins any of it (since Griffin actually became a head coach)

McGuire 178 metres and 36 tackles.

Say no more. He is our best prop.

M. Barba also gets used differently in the ISC to how he would be used in the NRL.

True he's practically a second roaming fullback for Ioswich

cool story but you can stop blowing the griffin flute because he's heading down to centrelink on monday

Kennedy has also been impressing me lately as well ... hopefully he is starting to become the prop we hoped he would be when he was signed

Can someone explain why hodges was forcing Macca out of dummy half 3/5 tackles for the last 20 minutes? Was he giving him a rest or was he unhappy with his service?

Ahhh because Macca was fucking shit house. He takes a step and attracts nobody and still gives shit service. He is barely first grade quality.

We can't win a comp whilst Macca is our hooker. Thank the lord we signed Waddell. At least we have another option.

surprise surpise ... we lose a game and look who returns

 

[Splinter]

Why wasn't Maccas try a penalty try or Hoffman in the bin

I think Hook pulled him pretty quick when he dropped that pass. Shame because I didn't see him do anything else except get himself on report.
