PRE-GAME Round 8 - Rabbitohs vs Broncos

[1910]

I think on the stats Joe had the strongest game and deserves his spot this week over Fai. SUA is a backrower so his stats wouldn't ordinarily be compared to a props. And I think that try you are talking about SUA drew 2 defenders in and passed to Joe who then busted the tackle of a cutters defender setting up sua. Offa in my opinion is more of a starting prop with Fai being a better option for impact off bench at this stage.

I agree, I have said that several time Fai is going to take some more work because he has to learn to run off a half because that's his skill. Bit wider and at holes. Minto will be a delight for him.

 

[1910]

So you believe Joe is the better option over Fai?

On form and for the role on Friday night- yes.

 

[1910]

Any chance he gets a shot ? What position has he been playing mate ?

Fullback. He's not playing there for the Broncos.

Souths are the TV game this week.

Any news on the fitness of Kahu? If he plays will he be goal kicking?

I think we might be really struggling for a back up kicker other then Milf and I can't even remember what sort of kicker Milf is. Is he any good?

No, he's real bad. Worse than Parker.

Dodd is starting for Wynnum

Dodds. One man can simply not put in that amount of effort. There is no Dodd. Only Dodds.

The one thing we don't want to do is underestimate the Rabbitohs.

They have been a better side than what the scorelines suggest. They aren't the pushovers people think they are.

If we aren't on our game we could be in for a bad night. Souths attack has been a bit lacklustre and they have been making too many silly errors, but if they fix all that they could be a danger. If more of their passes stuck and they played with a bit more unpredictability then their record this season could have been better.

They have a good forward pack and halves combination. Their biggest let down are their back 5.

I think we will win, but I don't think it will be the flogging people are predicting.

I hope we are tight defensively around the ruck otherwise I could see Cook and Walker cutting us up.

And for the love of god I hope Kahu is on point with his goal kicking this week. If we get into a shootout with Reynolds, we'll lose that battle.

I'm thinking complacency won't be an issue after the Titans.

How does tackle breaks not equate to extra meters? That's exactly what it equals. Joe made more meters than both of them. Sorry I don't understand your point.

When Joe made one of those busts beating four Cutters and running into the clear he passed to Su'A to score. Su'A had nothing in front of him but the Brisbane River- those meters are Joe's too.

Joe's try he pushed through the line and scored swatting them away. His tackle breaks equaled meters and a try.

looking at the stats both lads went good, joe did get an extra 15 minutes from your stats which should generally equate to more metres etc due to more opportunity.

playing the devils advocate, mackay forward pack is pretty dam ordinary. uele is the only one contracted to the cows and hasnt really had a look in or got a crack even with all their injury concerns this year. joe and george stats should be minimum expectation against a pack like the cutters.

Watching the Cutters game highlights, Joe O looks big, lean and fast this year. Hope he puts in a big performance.

Dodds. One man can simply not put in that amount of effort. There is no Dodd. Only Dodds.

Sorry, Just noticed. I must've missed it

What jersey do we wear this week?

 

[Morkel]

We have a Worms jersey? I want the one with the cluster bomb.

Worms was such an awesome game series. In fact, @Nashy, can we get it in the arcade?

 

[mitch222]

Love my Anzac jersey. Best jersey since the heritage jersey in 15

 

[Rally Towel]

Would have like to see Fai. Unproven at NRL level but seems a more like for like replacement for TPJ.

Spot is Joe's to lose though, same as Niko. He's been on the periphery, now has a golden chance to stake his claim. Hope he's hungry.

Worms was such an awesome game series. In fact, @Nashy, can we get it in the arcade?

Yes.

This must happen.

I played the absolute shit out of that game.
