I was hoping Croker would get a “rest”A couple of players shifted to the Flegg team as they remain in the hunt for a top 4 finish.
It is hard to conceive that Blacktown are running equal 8th after the poor performances of the last few weeks. A lot of NRL experience in the team.
I think Seibold kept him on five minutes too late last night. Its been a long break without match fitness GCKT was enthusiastic, conditions didn't help his creativity, but if his shoulder is okay getting the mix of those two going forward will bear fruitI was hoping Croker would get a “rest”
Always great to hear the crowd through the tv, but I'm a little sad.
All these years I thought they were cheering Geeeeeee -Eeeeeeee
But it's just: Maaaaan - lyyyyyyy
Great to be there and not have to listen to the commentators! Personal bugbear though is the booming ground announcer deciding when spectators should cheer We'll work out when to cheer! (I wonder if he even distracts the players, probably not)Everyone watching on fox needs to down a beer everytime Spud can't work out why these footballers don't hold onto the football like it's their baby!
Love spuds passion, but geez his old school comments and voice are hard to take.Everyone watching on fox needs to down a beer everytime Spud can't work out why these footballers don't hold onto the football like it's their baby!
Thats a strong forward lineup, surely we'll take this game out.
How many props do they need?Known names with NRL experience everywhere in that pack. But it's a big and it's pretty slow. Outcome should follow possession. Have more ball, they should be hard for a ressies team to stop. If those big blokes are defending for long periods. It will hurt.
Manly-Warringah Reserve Grade TitlesThen again we've never had decent reserve grade teams. Seems the worse they go the better 1st grade goes this year so keep it up BWSE.
Hmmm 1 minor premiership and 5 GF wins in 77 years. Last title 36 yrs ago. That's a Parra strike rate.Manly-Warringah Reserve Grade Titles
Premiers: 1954, 1960, 1969, 1973, 1988
Minor Premiers: 2009
Plus the 1972, 1977, 1983, 1987 (and any I might have missed) M-W Reserve Grade runners’ up say ‘Hi!’
Not exactly ‘never had a decent reserve grade side’ though.Hmmm 1 minor premiership and 5 GF wins in 77 years. Last title 36 yrs ago. That's a Parra strike rate.
Purely on these stats Sippers performed best. But as a wise man once said: People use statistics like a drunk man uses a lamp post; for support rather than for enlightenment.Vs Warriors

Perfect example of stats deceiving-Dogs have the second most missed tackles and the most ineffective tackles,yet have conceded the least amount of points in the compPurely on these stats Sippers performed best.
