Bears out what I'm saying about Ballin doing his fair share in defence.

The commentators las night said Glenn Stewart had a "quiet game".  Look at his stats!

 

[Fluffy]

some people fly under the radar, he is one of them. You only notice when he goes missing.

He is also getting more involved in attack and starting to throw some great balls like the one to put Bell away.

and to think after about 15 games in first grade everyone thought the guy was at best reasonable depth.

In 2005 Sue Ridgepipe and I had a beer before the Broncos game at Suncorp and she told me that the club were bringing Stewart along very slowly because they felt that within 2 years he would be a more than average first grader.

Interesting .........

Glenn Stewart was the best player out there.

 

[Pepi]

I agree i thought Glenn was great. Made a few tackle busts and was creative with the ball in hand.

 

[Ryan]

And he's consistent to boot. He's just a great damned player.

 

[Bradza]

Glenn Stewart was my man of the match.

 

[Ryan]

Is this like an Australian version of a US mancrush thread?

 

[The Wheel]

Notice Choc's 3 mistakes, I reckon he would top that count every week

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I had a theory on Choc's hands last year. He seemed to latch onto every ball Monaghan threw, and struggle to catch anything from Orford.

Maybe Monaghan had a more subtle pass, and with the pace Watmough steams onto the pill, he struggles a bit with the flat, harder service that he is getting this year

May be wrong, but just a thought

 

[Dan]

actually not a bad thought there Kiwi.

 

[Zep]

Menzies did a ****load of work coming off the bench... might have been the best thing willo getting injured

So you're finally admitting that Monaghan was throwing loopy lollipops?  Little wonder then that we often struggled for go froward in big games against a committed forward pack.

 

[Nutzcraw]

Subtle = Loopy Lollipops??

You are wrong!!!!  We are number one metre earner in the NRL. We now have hookers rather than two halfbacks.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Seeing you like to twist things mata, i will twist the other way, and suggest that maybe Monaghan had more skill at selecting what pass was right for the situation in front of him
