Brian Kelly - A Winner

[CBreeagles]

100% strike rate at Brookie so far, keep it going BK!

Could also add Brenton Lawrence to this. No matter the size he always lifts, one of the great manly players, represents what the club prides itself on and always leads by example

Never be as good as Jamie, ever!

No one will better Killer !

Kelly's second try running on to that DCE pass looked pretty darn special. He's not just a speedy athlete, he has footy nous.

I have to say Uate is a different player with that shaved head and in maroon.

Tafua was great again today.

But I think we need to find a space for Parker on the wing next year.

Injuries will sort things out but it's nice to see the backline firing without any pressure on our depth. I recorded the two lead up games on fox will be interested to watch them later. Early start tomorrow. Hoping to get a few coral trout.

Good luck and best wishes to all in thebtownsville area hope Debbie is kind to you but brings heaps of rain.

I anoint young Brian as the new BK of MANLY

From now on he should be referred to as BK or BK3


GO BK

Do go stealing my thunder @Wombat Legacy, I already anointed him BK 3.0 in the voting threads a couple of weeks ago lol

Brenton Kawrence has been on fire the last two games...

Not sure you can add BL to the BK's. Lets make Brenton BL1 instead 🙂

Just tell Brenton to change his last name

Hang on, I thought Brenton was BJ

Now I'm just confused!

 

[yokahontas]

Too many BJ's?

A lady never tells...

 

[Shoe1]

So, I'm guessing Brad Kelly didn't get christened BK1

Sorry to interrupt with football, but BK3 and the Doorman have transformed (for better or worse) our entire backline attacking strategy.

Gone are the sweeping backline line plays with the fullback chiming in to add 4/5 variations. Because both are centres (more BK3 than Doorman)that Baz sees as line or gap runners, as opposed to draw and pass players, so our halves are taking the ball to the line more often, and looking to pop a pass.

The truth of this has been the absolute dirth (a dirth I tell you) of tries scored by our wingers this year. Not saying they won't score tries, but gone are the opportunities they got outside Lyon and Matai.

PSS ( Good Lord, Lyon even put T-Rex over for 20 meat pies)

To be fair, Dylan Walker does add in sweeping backline moves...they only involve him though, does that count?

My comments aren't a criticism, just an observation of a different style.

My comments are a criticism - even in a great performance, there were still far too many of the 'Dylan Walker goes sideline to sideline' moves. He doesn't seem to get that sometimes he just needs to tuck the ball under his arm and run at the defenders in front of him.

Snip...

There's no way Lyon passed the ball 20 times in his career!!

I think if somebody has the will to look up the stats you will find that every winger that played outside Jamie would have been in the top 5 try scorers for the year. Wolfman comes to mind.

Funny, but not really true - Jamie was pretty good at setting up his winger, sometimes with a neat little grubber rather than a pass.

The wolf played origin and international football because he was fortunate enough to land a gig outside killer. He was fast and powerful and a great competitor and clubman/character but I would have loved to seen how Robbo went outside Lyon.
