PRE-GAME [Round 4, 2022] Warriors vs Broncos

[1910]

Paix 3 try assists on the weekend and still can’t make the team. Kevvie is a fucking knob.

He didn't really, two he just passed and they scored- the kick was a try assist. Passing to a forward who crashes over from 10m is not and passing the blind for backs to run 60m is not- nice work but isn't a try assist.

Or shouldn't be.

Better than slow passing that has the defensive line in the face of the halfback every time though

 

[McHunt]

That being said, I find it hard to see us winning if both Kurt and Riki are out.

Another take might be it's hard to see us winning if both injured players are included.

I’m not sure if the joke here is that we’d be worse off playing injured players or that we’d struggle to win even if a fully fit Riki and Capewell are included but I agree with you in either case.

We haven't had a hooker who knows how to do that for like 10 years, I'd definitely call it a try assist. Identifying the right forward to pick for a crash try was a Cam Smith speciality.

Mind you I didn't watch, it could have been a regulation pass and the defence was just awful, but if he picked out the forward well, it's a TA IMO.

It was as regulation as they come.

How many minutes did he play?

80.

 

[Huge]

Huge is taking a few people guessing why Ryan James was selected over his boy and running it. His leadership on and off the field could have been what got him over the line but neither James or Kennedy should be in the top 17. Huge doesn't respond when told neither should be in the team

Why comment on something that is just an opinion? It's not mandatory. I don't give a **** about James's talk. I do care that he's only produced 107 metres in over an hour and three quarters of first grade. Absolutely appalling returns. I prefer my bench forwards to actually go forward and on this very forum you yourself have moaned about a lack of go forward when the starting props go off.

Care to comment on that? Why you're suddenly silent and apparently satisfied with talk and leadership which are now more important than genuine go forward? **** that shit, I expect forwards getting 35 minutes a game to knock out metres and give time and space for our points men.

 

[BooKhaki]

@BooKhaki in regards to our other discussion, we defend less when we score more tries too.

So you want us to try and play U20 style footy? Seems like a great idea.

 

[Astro]

How many minutes did he play?

80

Also highest tackle count for the game was 34. So its not like he was hiding away avoiding work either.

if JT13 can pass it, doesnt feel like an elite level talent - honestly.

Flegler:

“I need to keep my cool. The boys are all giving me stick about getting suspended again but I’m sure that won’t be happening. You can’t play very good footy sitting on the sidelines, it’s no good for the team."​

​

“I just need to keep a cool head under pressure and not go outside our principles in defence and attack. I have been working on his defence the whole off-season and I will be much better come this season. I have been working with our defence coach ‘Bumper’ O’Farrell and it has been helpful."​

​

“My tackle technique at times does get a bit out of hand which does lead me to get suspended. During a game, there are times where you have these snap lapses and you have to learn to control that or it’s no good for the team.”​

​

“Kurt would be a massive loss for us, but we have the boys to fill in the gaps for him. We’re not too worried about the injury toll, we have the back-up players in the team to get the win this weekend.”​

That`s interesting ...
You have mentioned his "talk " in several posts recently .

Seems there is a fair bit of momentum around Brenko being in this week:
