Is there something about these new age footballs that make it hard to hang on to despite the 3 bottles of goop they spray on their hands?

 

[Class of 96]

They are showing the Bears v Berries on tv. What a depressingly ordinary club. It’s like time has stood still for 100 years without the smallest incremental improvement.

It's still raining slightly in Sydney, but ball security seems to be challenging for all our grades 🙁

Such biased commentary
We get any ball in there 20 think we have more points in us.
Fanu is no API ..he is still a long long way off first grade

Anyone’s game
After West struck 2 quick tries looked another glum day, but the boys are fighting hard....some ordinary execution and turnovers, but in the fight.
Fainu and Anderson though some errors, showing potential and Cust has looked solid, which is a good thing

Several things .... in the modern game ... unlike yesteryear ..... you have 3/4 tacklers holding you up longer and all pulling your arms in different directions .... I am amazed they manage to hold on at all sometimes ...

Back when footballers were real men ..... and we played with leather balls made from the skins of the beasts we hunted and killed the night before ..... we were aware they were slippery buggers and therefore didn't try to do as much with them ...... today some players hold the modern light ball like a tennis ball, out from the body and looking to promote .....

You had to hunt them? Back in my day I was so scary the animal topped itself rather than face me. Not like you softies!


edit: That said, 3 dropped balls whilst typing the above comment.

Ball control is a shambles again.

Oh, and Jono Wright has the turning circle of the Titanic.

 

[globaleagle]

Try wests.

 

[HappilyManly]

Jono misses a tackle and Wests are in again

Jono has really regressed 😕

 

[Fluffy]

how is the 9th going?

I’ve just had double knee replacement and I would match Jono’s Speed.

 

[simon64]

I turned it off......boring as bat sh1t.

 

[mave]

More errors. Fk me

It's like watching Canberra 1st grade, minus the brilliant bits as well.

 

[TimmyQ]

Is Peter Schuster injured or has he fallen into the abyss. I thought he looked a likely thing with a bit of a future.

 

[HappilyManly]

Wests are in again 😡

Blacktown players have the same attitude to ball security as Manly have. Just passing for the sake of it
