Its a.mix & match, first was Foz grubber that ended a few cm in from the deadball line. Second was Foz bomb that ended under the right goal postSeaEagleRock8 said:"This time he was the beneficiary of a Kieran Foran bomb and grounded the ball with centimetres to spare at a time when the game was still in the balance"
I thought that was his first try?
Inaccurate commentators are annoying. In the last week I've heard many saying that when Hoppa previously played Origin it was as a winger. I'm pretty sure he was picked as a left centre in that match. (Or is it just my memory?)
Yeah, like, WHICH ONE ?Jethro said:SEA Eagles star fullback Brett Stewart has described how he scored his sensational second try in Friday night's 32-10 win over arch rivals the Bulldogs at Brookvale Oval on Friday night.

Oh no, even you HM!!??HappilyManly said:Hops was a winger, don't know who the centre was.
He scored an amazing corner post try

EagleFromMay1967 said:Brett's made a mistake. The first try was the more special try. A kick through, a 2 nd kick through, and race to the ball and the beautiful control to get the downward pressure travelling at speed - to break the spirit of the Dogs early in the 2 nd half. This made any Dogs ccomeback an irrelevancy.
For mine, one of the best tries Snake has scored in 2 years.

Hopoate, who only turned 19 last month, replaces the injured Michael Jennings in the centres, having only played 14 NRL first grade games since debuting in round 13 last year
Shoe1 said:True, but a fullback loves out jumping another fullback! I remember he took one off Robbie odavis once too, sweet
RiverEagle said:Yeah they were both pretty special.
Degree of difficulty with that second one - stealing the bomb off Foz on the fly - was a bit better for mine.
But both great and at important times.
And, he praises the forwards too (@Fluffy) !
Yes, and I'm in awe of all those of you sharp enough to recognise the importance and influence of rugby league commentators!RiverEagle said:It just goes to prove having the requisite abilities and communication skills (or NOT) are often no hindrance for people to gain positions of importance, and influence.
You see it every day, all over the place.
Fortunately many of us see right through people like that.
