City v Country 2017

[Terry Zarsoff]

They have a good product, the people that run the game. The problem is the game is encumbered with ramshackle administration, no matter how much they tinker with it. And that's even before you get to dolts like G2 - Grant and Greenberg.

And by and large it has always been thus.

Those City-Country jerseys are the last of their kind, they'll be going straight to the Poolroom.

 

[Holmsey]

Bk might have picked up an injury.

 

[Eagleheart]

Another silly pass by De Belin, he is having a shocker. (And no Mr
nein commentator Ray he has not be strong he has been terrible....!)

 

[HoldenV8]

Have to say, while Kelly has made some good hit ups and has been good in defence, his chase of kicks and backing up breaks on his side of the field has been almost non-existent.

Sironen is being forced to cover a lot in defence for Bryce Cartwright.

Good game, both Manly boys did well.

End of an era - City 20 Country 10

Both Aubusson and Gallen spoke well. Particularly Roy Aubusson.

Aubusson is so underrated - wish he had come over to Manly a few years ago

I hope they separate Siro and Cartwright before the nights festivities begin...nothing good will come of those two being let loose in a country town together!
Mooooo.

Yes I wondered where he was when Sims made that long break so I played it back and saw he had played the ball towards the centre of the field, that's why he was nowhere near his left wing.

I bet the Panthers were happy (not) seeing Tamou play as well as he did and thinking 'where's that been this year'? Surely Daley wouldn't pick him based only on that game...

Tamou has been off the pace this year no doubt, but I'm finding it hard to pick four props for the blues jersey that doesn't include him.

Did anyone else hear, just into the second half Tamou came steaming onto it, and someone screams,
" Hit the big fkn poofter!"
Came across crystal clear on refs mic.🙂

I think that was Gus...

 

[andyvb]

Nsw props ahead of tamou this year -klemmer, fifta, woods, Boyd, Vaughan, de Belin
Going back to the game, Adam Elliot played well, would make a great replacement for Lewis brown

Real reason City v Country has been discontinued is that it is too hard for players to score Coke in regional centres *

All that ghastly music at every stoppage, no wonder the match is abolished. Organisers treating it like a circus event.
