Non-Manly Games [Round 2, 2019]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Hopefully we just make the grade

Going to be a very tough two months and could easily be 0/7 or at best 1/8, and if so another season probably fighting not to be spooners.

[HoldenV8]

St Merge are falling apart this half.

 

[Uk eagle]

GI struggling for mobility, looks to me like he's pulled a fat

 

[StuBoot]

How can the refs/touchies not pick up a forward pass from dummy half ffs!

 

[HoldenV8]

This is a dummy half forward pass-a-thon.....

 

[Harvies elbow]

Rack em up souffs.
The more points teams win by might make us look better on the for and against...

 

[HoldenV8]

They aren't calling blatant forward passes from dummy half, yet they rule that lost ball from Gagai as a knock on when it clearly went backwards.

Yep, the refs are back to their best.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Looked like a slight double movement from Burgess
Apparently not.

 

[Pablo]

Rabbids should romp in even with Fat GI

So now that's a Gagai and a Fatgi in the team?

 

[HoldenV8]

Souffs may have won tonight, but damn does 1nglis look out of shape and out of form.

 

[Cioran]

Rabs is a genius. First he figures out that it’s only a knock on if the ball goes forward, then he points out that a drop our penalty applies when you exceed the time available to take a drop out. If only the referees were as smart.

 

[Cioran]

Rabs asks the big questions “where does Norman end up”. I can’t answer that question but I suspect the words “her Majesty’s prison” will be carved over the door.

You can’t say that.
He is a shape, just not what you’d call a good shape.
And out of form? There’s an argument that he still has form.

 

[The Who]

You'd be a rich man if you tipped the team that Corey Norman was playing against.

Correct again.
Norman brings down teams. Look at how Doesn'tmatta improved in its only match of the season compared to last year.
In contrast, Illawarra led the comp for much of last year and now, with Norman, have been beaten convincingly in their two outings.
Illawarra have a wealth of good backline players, several forced to play reserves because some dumb recruiter opted to bring Norman over on big bickies.
Tough luck Illawarra. It won't be long till he's been dropped to Reserve Grade.

 

[Peter C]

St george are playing well
I think they have a pretty complete team this year. Wouldn't surprise to see them in September

Are you going to Bali in September?

 

[Sue]

Burns and the winger look fantastic. So much speed with Walker inside them. They got to the outside shoulder at will.Dont have to break tackles if they don’t lay a glove on you.They can win it this year.

They signed Normal basically as a replacement for Widdop who is returning to England at the end of this year.

While I tend to agree with you about Norman, I think right now McGregor should have his spine as Dufty (FB), Widdop (5/8), Norman (Half) and Hunt (Hooker) with McInnes playing lock. What they have right now isn't working because TBH the Pom just doesn't have the speed to be a fullback.

True, but none of the others appear smart enough to play fullback.

Lol....how was the silence when he asked....nothing, then had to ask again. Not sure if he got an answer as I yelled out some homophobic slur of my own.
